Very nice site, very pleasant in spring and summer, a large part of the gardens and exteriors are accessible for free, well for a relaxing break with family even with young children. Very nice also for brunch where to do the aperitif between buddies on Sundays, restaurant and bar in the Park of the Castle, prices more than reasonable. Visit of the paying Castle. Numerous animations and performances throughout the year (Festival in July). Very nice place!!!
