"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. "
