There’s a car park with toilet (portaloo) opposite the chateau entrance. There were several friendly staff or volunteers in the ticket office, and they spoke excellent English. The chateau was left to fall into ruin after a fire in the 1930’s and it is now being rescued by an enthusiastic group. It’s extraordinarily beautiful, and the plans for restoration are particularly innovative - rather than faithfully returning it to former splendour they are working hard to conserve the trees and plants that have colonised the chateau. You will be mostly outside so it’s best to visit on a dry day. There’s some walking involved so wear practical shoes, it’s all fairly flat and easy to navigate. It’s not a large site so you can easily see it all in about 2 hours. Utterly beautiful, well worth a visit, I will certainly go back next time I’m in that area to see how they are getting on with the restoration.
