Très beau, immense. Parking pour camping-car, vélo, voiture, car. Distributeur de café. A l'intérieur, possibilité de prendre boissons chaudes et crêpes. L'organisation pour voir l'intérieur du château est un peu limite. Les salles sont étroites, donc pas toujours facile de circuler. Mettre en place un sens de circulation pourrait être une solution. Visite sympathique. Gratuit pour les porteurs de la carte invalidité et moins cher pour l'accompagnant. C'est très appréciable. Merci.
This chateau is incredibly wonderful, and its position over a river makes it one of the most unique chatueaus in the entire Loire Valley and in the whole of France. This place was once home to kings and queens including Catherine de Medici and it shows. The grounds has an impressive French garden as well.
Small chateau. Big gardens. Good decorations during Christmas. The light show was okay. Seven minutes long.

Beautiful castle with a rich history that clearly inspired the castle of Beauty & the Beast. It is definitely worth a trip from Paris to see this 500+ year old estate of the French monarchy.
A very beautiful chateau! I appreciate how the displays in the chateau have English translations as well. The Christmas light show and displays were magnificent! The staffs of the chateau were friendly as well.

Juste wow 😍

Le château est juste splendide de l'aspect extérieur; il donne sur la Loire ce qui le rend encore plus joli. Malheureusement, je n'ai pas pu visité l'intérieur c'était complet (oui il y'a pas mal de monde).

Mais le plus impressionnant, ça reste les jardins ! Les jardins sont vraiment magnifiques, immenses et incroyablement paisibles. Ils présentent une reconstitution captivante de la vie à l'époque du château.

Mes photos peuvent en témoigner.

En bref, allez-y !! Cela en vaut la peine.
This place has done an outstanding job of making the holiday visit spectacular. Officially now my favorite place to visit in the Paris and nearby area. Thank you for all your hard work and sharing this beautiful place with us.
Nous y étions le 31/12, et le château était magnifiquement décoré. Les jardin, le labyrinthe à visiter également. Très beau château.
Un superbe château et des jardins magnifiques. Cependant la visite n'a pas été un plaisir. Beaucoup trop de monde, impossible de prendre le temps et de profiter de chaque pièce.
Par contre nous avons grandement profité des jardins.
Malgré tout nous ne regrettons pas notre visite.
Great bit of history. The chateau is more raw than Versailles, which makes it quite interesting l. Being a good drive out of Paris, there are fewer people. Be sure to stay for the light/projection show at dark. We had a great day out.

Magnifique !
Très beau château visité lors des fêtes de Noël. Celui-ci faisait parti des 7 châteaux décorés à voir du 2/12 au 07/01.
Salles magnifiquement décorées, sapins parés de leurs plus beaux atours, et très belles compositions florales.
Je recommande vivement la visite de ce château, encore plus aux beaux jours.
The castle is gorgeous. I definitely recommend visiting it on a beautiful day as opposed to a rainy one. Seems like there will be more to do especially in the garden. Be mindful it is Hardly accessible for wheelchairs and you will have to leave strollers at the entrance.
One of most Beautiful Chateaus in Loire Valley! Also knows as “Ladies Castle” due to its historic association with most influential women. The castle is beautifully decorated for the festivities and lovely music filling the air and flowing down River Cher. Absolutely gem of a place. Mesmerized by grandeur. The tickets at 15.5 euros per person are tad bit expensive but then can’t complain!

Was definitely worth the visit. I could only imagine how beautiful it is in the spring, summer, and fall. As the winter colors were still impressive
One of the most beautiful castles I visited so far. The audio guide is a must to really enjoy the experience. It is not crowded, so the visit is very comfortable and you can really enjoy it. I suggest to rent a golf car and take a tour of the garden
Wow this castle was very much bigger and grander than I’d imagine while the locals were telling us about the chateau that it’s a must-go. Indeed it is. There is a lot of history and stories inside the chateau with a very helpful slew of videos. The best part is the multiple translations available for the videos each plastered on different sides of the wall making it easy for many tourists to learn about its history in comfort.

Favourite room: the video room.
Favourite exhibit: the hunting room with buttons display

I’d recommend getting the iPad to view the exhibits and follow the map in the given sequence in order to fully cover the château should time permit.

There are also sprawling gardens for you to walk which we couldn’t finish and a cafe/restaurant inside the castle and another few outside the chateau to fill your empty stomachs from the long walks. The inside cafe only has light bites past lunch hour.

There is also a kids friendly room located at the top floor, there’s a “finding Wally” game there which is pretty goofy fun.

Fun fact, the chateau felt colder in the winter inside than outside. A fellow B&B owner said a similar thing too.
Absolutely spectacular in every way! The Chateau de Chambord is one of the most opulent castles I've ever seen . If you are anywhere near the Loire Valley, I encourage you to make the trip to see this! The drive up to the castle is exciting! Seeing this architectural masterpiece from a distance is awe-inspiring. I'm amazed and perplexed to see how it was actually designed and brought to life. It's mind-boggling to imagine! The magic staircase alone by itself is beyond incredible!! I can't imagine what it was like actually living here! The history is amazing. Everything about this castle is wildly impressive!!

Beautiful beautiful place even in autumn where the plants are not abundant. Great to know that the rates are reduced to just 3€ during winter months for the garden visit. A must visit — super tranquil and gorgeous.
This castle is a miracle! It looks amazing, especially its roof, which is impressive. I loved wandering inside and getting lost in the maze of corridors and staircases. It all looks like a fairytale. The courtyard and gardens are astonishing as well!
One of the most well maintained historical garden. Highest level of garden art and garden care. I really admire extraordinary skills of gardeners that take care about this space and plants. All is perfectly beautiful even in November
Un magnifique château sur le Cher où règne une ambiance apaisante, de bien être, une atmosphère reposante...
Très joliment restauré, château de taille humaine, un audio guide très bien fait avec des anecdotes et références à l histoire qui nous invite à poursuivre jusqu a la fin.
Le jardin très bien entretenu, le labyrinthe rigolo a faire entre amis et une option+ pour le potager et les fleurs (malgré la saison)
It's a nicely rebuilded castle. The views from the top of the mountain are astonishing with another castle close by, the river down the hill and that village built in the mountain in front of the castle. It has an interesting exhibition of medieval weapons exposed through the different chambers of the castle. If you are a castle fan this one for sure you are going to like. Also, it's nice for kids as it has some interactive games and some people dress as medieval people explaining their jobs.
Chambord castle or palace is the most beautiful place I’ve ever visited in my entire life. It’s a one in a lifetime experience. I can’t rate this castle high enough. If I could rate it higher I would. We spent there almost 3 hours and the time went so quick. I could not believe it. I didn’t want to leave the castle as it was so gorgeous everywhere you go to.
The gardens surrounding this palace are magnificent. They well looked after. You can also view them from the roof that you have access to.
You definitely need to visit this stunning piece of architecture, engineering and work of art.
This is one castle in the area not to be missed. Very informative, lots to read, good bilingual video shorts. Beautifully restored. A little difficult to move around some parts if you are mobility impaired. I didn't take the tour, but it probably would have been worth it. Cute little town adjacent to it for a bite to eat before or after your visit to the castle.
Very imposing castle standing high above the Dordogne river. Climb the road leading to the castle from the road following the river. You can then park close to the castle and walk down to enter.

We were too late to get in, but were still able to see the impressive outside views. The village is well worth the wander around too. See if you can find the passage leading to the panorama viewpoint by the fountain for an impressive view of the river valley below
The castle is lovely, worth the price. Lots of different rooms to see and lovely gardens around it, we spent about 2,5 hours viewing the castle but it felt like 30 minutes. Also the view from the roof of the castle is amazing. If you going to stay locally, make sure you visit this beautiful place.

Among the Loire Castles visited, it is certainly the one that impressed me the most. In addition to innovative architectural solutions for the time a great taste in also trying to give the castle not only security to its inhabitants but also solutions of comfort and refinement that I have not seen elsewhere. A must for those who decide to do the Loire valleys.
This castle is not a popular tourist destination, but definitely a hidden gem among locals. We highly recommend coming here for a visit and hope we can get a chance in the future to see the fireworks.
This fortress overlooking the Vienne River and town of Vivone has a rich history of both English and French kings and princes dating all the way back to early mediaeval times for n the 11th century. Joan of Arc and The Knights Templar also feature in the history of this imposing building dominating the skyline above the mediaeval town. There is a fully accessible lift system of you don't want to or can't manage the short but steep walk up from the town. All the displays and history are accessible in all languages thanks to the use of digital displays and hand held tablets issues to help visitors understand what life would really have been like in the 11th - 16th centuries.
Nice fortress, well preserved, with a big yard where you can picnic or just relax in a chaislong. Beautiful panoramic views.
A fabulous campsite in a beautiful part of the Dordogne. Worth the climb to the top from the village - steep uneven track on foot but you can drive up too.

Enjoyed this visit. The bringing to life of the Sleeping Beauty story gave points of interest within the castle. Also, the antique clothing exhibition helped you to imagine the era.

Huge!!! This château requires lots of walking and time. The gardens are a highlight and beautifully looked after. Great views of the garden throughout the entire château, don't forget to visit the garden at the back that has a pond and some swans, very peaceful.

Can not recommend this place enough, I wish I had more time here to explore the grounds. If you want to be super efficient you can see main elements within an hour or so inside and still have time for exterior photos. The guidebook tells you highlights to see. Stunning views from the top. Well maintained. Would even like a return for a slower visit.

What a place, spectacular, jaw dropping from every angle. The cite is free to enter, wander freely through narrow streets enjoy the buzz. There are many restaurants, shops and bars plus the cathedral and the chateau and ramparts, the latter of which attract a small fee. You could take photographs all day long, I've just attached a few
Great place to visit, lots of medieval buildings to see. The wall city is quite compact with lots of quaint narrow streets, making it easy to navigate yourself around. The narrow streets also give lots of shaded areas to escape from the hot temperatures. There are also lots of restaurants and bars or ice-cream parlours for either lunch or just somewhere to have a relax with a drink or ice cream. All the restraunts were either with shades or lovely shaded gardens. We paid the 9.50 euros for the medieval villa and walked along the tops of the castle walls, which gave great views of the old city within the walls and panoramic view looking over the old town of carcassonne. A memorable day. It would be fantastic at night with the lights on.
A fantastic castle set in a beautiful valley. It has an English written guide that I used to gain information on all the exhibits.
My children loved the Trebuchet demonstration. There are steep, winding stone staircases so beware.
The exhibits are well laid out.
A bat landed on my sandal and then hid between two floorboards: a first for me (and probably the bat).
There is a jaw dropping moment when you first cross the drawbridge and walk up the cobbled street. You are transported back to medieval times and, although it's quite commercial and "touristy", the architecture has been lovingly restored and maintained! There are many shops, some selling very good quality art and some selling tourist trinkets and everything in between! There's a wonderful choice of restaurants to choose from and, surprisingly, very reasonably priced! A great place to wander around for a few hours!

This medieval city is so unique with its castle within a castle structures. It still breaths the medieval times, although almost all buildings have been modified to fit shops or restaurants.

They might have gone a bit more withholding on that part, that's why it's a 4 for me, as I like the fact it's being used, but not everywhere they took in account the history and authenticity.

Worth a visit you ask? Definitely!!
Full of history, Jean D'Arc, Kings, Queens, sieges, dungeons and towers.

Great for the history buff...

Great château with lots to see. The attic requires more attention from staff. Very narrow stairs that people can only go up or down. The number of people going up should be controlled as it is a small space and is not really worth it to be honest. I’ll attach and image of the attic. Food place opposite was very very greasy would take food with me if i visited again.

The garden of this castle are breathtaking. The garden visit is worth the ticket cost.
This concept of garden mix of flowers and vegetable is really great. This castle that was confiscated during the French Revolution was then acquired by Emperor Napoleon for his brother. In 1906 was acquired by Carvallo family thus is still owning it. Since the beginning the family invested lot of money to create and maintain these amazing gardens.
We went here with children and it was a good experience for everyone and took much longer than expected, which was good compared to the times we have paid to go somewhere and finished in a short period of time. If you are booking on line you skip the queue but remember to ask for your free histopad. It is a small tablet which triggers as you walk to different parts of the fortress, shows what the view would have been 600 years ago, from where you are standing etc. For children there is also a sticker challenge and collecting treasures on the pad.

There are a lot of steps up and down the towers so go prepared for a good workout although not shown on the website there is a cafe serving sandwiches, cake, drinks etc

Quite charming, but really crowded in the high season. The sleeping beauty tower was fun and the gardens are quite well kept and very pretty. The parking is free, but very small, could be difficult to find a parking place here. Also, not many food options around.
Amazing medieval city and castle. Had a quick visit but would need more time to really appreciate it. You can walk around inside the city for free but you have to pay to go inside the castle. Wonderful history to take in everywhere you look. There is a car park which we were lucky to find a space in during August, as the sign said it was full.

The most amazing gardens I've ever seen. For that alone it's worth to come here and see it. Wonderful park surrounding the castle, convenient location and a huge free parking. Villandry is definitely a good experience.
A beautiful castle with amazing views of the Dordogne valley. We had a really helpful and informative tour in English - thank you for catering for English speaking tourists.

The wall walks and the keep can get very busy later on in the day, so try and arrive early. One of the highlights was the quality of the exhibitions and models which illustrated the stages of the castle and seigecraft. Highly recommended, even just for the views!

Carcassonne is a historic city located in the Occitanie region of southern France. It is renowned for its medieval fortress, La Cite, which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The city is known for its well-preserved medieval fortress, high walls that you can walk on and narrow cobbled streets.
How there are not more visitors at this chateau is completely beyond me, it is unquestionably superior to so many of the larger chateaus that receive more visitors. It is such a marvel of architecture and the way it compliments the gardens is perfection. The inside of the house is full of history with a good tour.

A walk to the Hercules statue is an absolute must and not too far. The view from the statue down over the chateau is incredible and really gives perspective.

The little kiosk outside does lovely crepes as well!
We visited both the castle and the gardens. Especially the gardens were worth a visit for us. Very impressive how they made all the gardens and the vegetable garden is truly magnificent! We enjoyed our visited and were done in aprox 1.5 hour. Full price (both places) was 13€
Nice place to visit. Old town (cite) is amazing and the whole city is beautiful. I recommend going to the castle if you like such type of stroll. Waiting around the cite, the city center, along the river is a very interesting and relaxing way of spending time. As in France in general, take care of the timings for meals. Pretty much closes down at 2pm, reopens at 7pm and close down again at 10pm

We did not enter the historical citadel, we just wandered around the exterior area and visited a restaurant for lunch.

It's all been very well restored and we had a great time. Amazing views from the entry / bus stop area as well as how spectacular the castle is.

Worth noting it was very busy so if you don't like crowds you're better off visiting this place in the off season.

Absolutely amazing castle!
Long queue to pay for parking, a steep climb to enter the chateau. Few restaurants in the village.
Nice castle, interesting focus on armoury, great views of the area.
Castle definitely worth the detour. It is super photogenic and amazing to look at. I love the part where you visit the castle and follow the story of sleeping beauty. Just make sure to pay attention to the signs or you will not do the story in the right order. The castle itself is nice, but there is not a lot to see in it. The owners still live in it so access is somewhat restricted. Outside the castle, there are a few other places to visit, but they don’t take a long time. Overall, happy I did it and would do again.

This is again another lovely Chateau from the Lourie Valley. Parked just outside, plenty of space most days. We got there at 9.30 so we could park the motorhome under a tree. There was a sign advising against it, but it looked OK and it was a hot day. I suspect I would have not if it was windy. You can walk around most parts with the dog. Not a great deal to see in the actual chateau but loads of other places to look around and still lovely gardens.
An incredible place to visit. The best chateau in the area. We visited both the house and gardens. In the house there was plenty to see and learn, with good information on the leaflets you are given about each room and it's history. But the gardens are the real gem here. They are amazing. Lots of different gardens to see and explore so plenty to do. The surrounding area is stunning too. Really easy to find, free parking as well and a very reasonable price for entry.
Historically a very nice castle, with some reconstruction done. The app shows how things used to look like with lots of extra information to read. The castle is also partly in ruin and a lot of the original castle is gone, therefor no 5th star. But the defense towers, the clock tower, some ramparts and the reconstructed halls are still there and accessible. Ice cream, some food and drinks and toilet available on the grounds.
Sehr schöne Burg. Wir waren bei herrlichem Sonnenschein da. War schon etwas warm, aber sehr interessant. Und nicht endlos groß und gut zu besichtigen.
This was one of the best places we went during our week around the Loire valley watching castles and so. From the beginning the place felt like interesting because of the lady at the reception explaining things, giving us a histopad which would allow us at certain points get a kind of video of how things might have been, I think in the fourteenth century (?) and provides you information, if you want to by clicking on the images. And it also had a treasure hunt integrated, which not only the kids had fun with! The fortress was big and is now mainly a ruin. But the place has been made/ kept in a way that you still can imagine the shape and grandness. The panorama from the towers, walls..is great. At several spots you can go with steps down inside the fortress and also walk through rooms. There is also in the middle a lot of grass with trees allowing for shadow and chairs are placed. A very nice outside kind if bar is available with also here very nice staff. The atmosphere in this place was so great and the staff as well.

Absolutely stunning walled castle. Definitely get the audio tour. About a 30 min walk from the train station. The town inside the wall is very touristy..best to head back to the lower town for meals, etc. Just remember that many restaurants close at 2pm.

We didn't have advanced tickets, but arrived when it opened at 10am and got in without any problems.
Very interesting castle, you can learn a lot about the life back in the day. The towers offer splendid views over the Chinon and the river and the courtyard is lovely, you can leisure on the grass or on the many chairs available.

A castle from the fairytales. Follow the sleeping beauty story and learn lots of history in this very nice castle, with a beautiful garden and old chapel. Across the castle, near the parking lot, you can take a break with some good food or just a coffee. Put d'Ussé on the list while visiting Loire.

This is a 1000 year old castle that still has people living and operating businesses within its walls. It’s 10£ to your the ramparts and castle. Well worth the money. There are plenty of restaurants and shops to keep you entertained for most of the day.

Great Medieval place, full with history and definitely worth visiting. Only 45 mins away from Toulouse with a train, which makes it a great day trip!!
Good place to discover historical topics. They give you tablets to see everything from the past. You can find so many films captured in this palace like NARNIA, GAME OF THRONES, LE HOBBIT, HANGER GAMES DE GARY ROSS, you can see the view of the rivers and buildings and the bridges and the forest from the top top of the palace.
Nice place to discover historical information from 1300 till 2022.
I totally recommend it.

The castle is full of history, and the Sleeping Beauty tower is one of their highlights and it would be interesting for children. Their garden was very pretty even in September, and there were still lots of nice flowers blooming. It is definitely worth the visit. It wasn’t too crowded in September, and there were plenty of nice photo spots. What a lovely castle!

Part of the outdoor area inside the palace behind the golden gates. It was raining when we went there so there were a few puddle around but they had a pathway to prevent slippage. We went to head to the daughter room area on the ground floor.

Lieu magnifique, empli de calme et de nature en plein coeur de Paris. J'ai adoré y aller, c'est un grand bol d'oxygène. Le chemin est juste énorme, les rails abandonnés se prolongent pendant des kilomètres. J'espère que cela restera toujours comme ça parce que c'est mon lieu préféré dans Paris. J'espère qu'il ne disparaîtra jamais. A bientôt, la Petite Ceinture...
Much better to look at than my kitchen floor
5 étoiles. On est sur un pont qui tient debout. Il ne bouge pas quand on saute dessus. Les voitures peuvent y circuler également malgré sa petite taille. Et il y a en effet une ligne de chemin de fer désaffectée qui passe dessous. L'accès y est interdit mais les ninjas que vous êtes n'auront aucun mal à y accéder.

Bref un pont parisien comme un autre, mais Google aime noter les choses alors voilà une note.
Super endroit insolite pour prendre plein de photos
Cet endroit, ce lieu, ferait presque rêver tous les nostalgiques du chemin de fer à vapeur. Mais y en a-t-il encore beaucoup de nos jours ?... Imaginez la locomotive arrivant lentement enrobée de volutes majestueux de fumée, faisant hurler son sifflet par intermittence, et s'engouffrant puissamment sous ce pont de la petite ceinture dans un mugissement profond...
Aujourd'hui déserté, ce passage vit une petite mort en attendant un avenir incertain !
Pont à voir absolument, c'est une merveille architecturale du 19e siècle. De plus les abords du pont font rêver. Je dors régulièrement sur ce pont pour tout dire, tellement je le trouve génial.

A great place for a weekend getaway. Advice would be not to stay there as there is nothing more to see other than the fort. It's a good place for Toulouse people for a quick getaway.
Incredible place to see. Completely calm and peaceful place within such a huge city.
