    The guided tour of the private apartments was very good and our guide, Tatiana, very interesting and experienced. Then, the experience was less satisfying; far too many people in the ceremonial rooms. We passed through without really seeing the rooms, following the tide of people. Then we were refused access to the Gardens, on the pretext that our ticket didn't include it. visit. However, in the title of the reservation, and the price paid, it was clearly written: with full access to the Palais and the Gardens. Disappointment, incomprehension and injustice, since that's what we had booked...

    Our guide put her heart and soul into the tour. She used the 90 minutes as effectively as possible to show our group as much as possible. I particularly liked the fact that the children who were there were motivated to follow the tour with interest by asking lots of questions! Thank you very much for this wonderful and interesting time!

    The tour we booked was great. A competent tour with a very nice guide. We were glad to have been part of a small group and to have had time to enjoy ourselves away from the general hustle and bustle. After the tour was over, we were able to explore the rest on our own. We were pushed through the rest of the rooms like cattle. That was not nice. But that's not the guide's fault. There are just too many inconsiderate visitors.

    According to the description, you can walk through the gardens of the castle. However, access to the gardens was not included. We did not get admission.
