What people say

"A chateau all about Napolean! Lots of very weird and funny things in this museum, so pay attention (hint: find Napolean's travel bidet). This has the last throne room in France with the original furniture and the table on which Napolean allegedly signed his resignation decree. Pro Tips: You can rent costumes for the day and wander the castle in fancy clothes! There are also free lockers inside for you to store belongings (coats, etc.). Time: It takes about 2-2.5 hours to leisurely go through the chateau. Cost: Adult tickets are 14 EUR. "
Alexis Meyer
"The castle was originally built in the 12th century as a hunting lodge for the Kings of France, and then was a base for the Kings of France for eight centuries."
Alexandria Ugarte
"Day Trip to see Marie Antoinette's bed (1hr total train + bus) Palatial former royal residence dating from 12th century, housing 4 museums & opulent apartments."
