I booked before I went to France so I just had to have my ticket scanned. Didn't have to queue to buy a ticket. Got there nice and early and the place was not too busy, it was heaving when I left 2 hours later. It is a beautiful chateau, the artwork is amazing, could have spent a lot longer there to see everything in detail, it was quite wonderful
Both the location and the welcome were warm.

One of the best chateaus we've visited. Very easy to book using headout.
The ticket with the entrance to the castle made ut so much easier. We really skipped the line to validate the tickets whixh was so helpful. However you should find a way to precise which gate to go to since we got lost and we had to wait an hour for the second train to come.
Very nice visit magnificent castle

Very nice visit to the castle. Maybe we lacked information that we had to walk from the train station to the castle, it was not clear. The rest was fine
