What's on?

COVID19: the Centre for National Monuments has decided to abolish the first free Sunday in November (Sunday 1 November) for monuments in the red zone. The entrance fee will therefore apply normally. The aim of this measure is to limit the number of visitors to monuments due to the health crisis. This measure will be renewable from December 2020 to March 2021 as long as the areas are in the red zone.

Description

A 17th century chateau, built by François Mansart for René de Longueil, who went on to be Louis XIV's Superintendent of Finances. Its architecture is one of the best examples of French classical art. During your tour of the chateau, you will discover the large open staircase and its sculpted and restored decor, the King's apartment and his famous Cabinet des Miroirs as well as the superb decor in the Comte d'Artois' dining room.
