Culture, nature and horses, a winning trio for a great day out

What better way to start the day than a fun visit in the château thanks to our game booklet (6-12 year olds)? Booklet available on-site (can be obtained from the ticket desk at the château). Download the booklet

You can also use our new visitor app to discover the history of the château, the Great Stables and the park in a fun, online way. Learn More

Or, weather permitting, you can enjoy a relaxing family moment with a golf cart in the bucolic setting of the château’s grounds and gardens. Find out more

You can also play the Jeu de l’Oie (Goose Game), which was created in the early 18th century. Spread over 3.5 hectares, it is one of the largest goose games that has ever existed! To play, visitors must move like pawns from one of the 63 squares of the game to another, avoiding the well or the prison. Access to the game included in the admission ticket.

Lunch time

For lunch, you can choose between the restaurant in the château or the restaurant in the grounds. Make the most of it to order an authentic, tasty Chantilly whipped cream dessert! Prior booking advised. You can also enjoy a family picnic at the tables located under the trees in the English garden.

Afternoon

Head for the Great Stables with your family to watch an equestrian demonstration at 2.30 pm (included in the entrance ticket, see demonstration dates and times), an opportunity to meet the horses, donkeys and ponies!
