The castle was under restauration. Fortunately we could visit a part of it inside and could freely walk around the pretty park with the nice ponds. Friendly staff at the place.

Under some restoration works, the Chateau is still an interesting sight to visit if in the Burgundy region. The entrance fee is reasonable and includes a Guide. On Sunday, 26 June the afternoon the tour was guided by a young enthusiastic and knowledgeable fellow. Unfortunately, did not have the time to get his name. The visit was very interesting with an insight of the owner of the castle, customs, and people of the epoch. It will be a most to come back to see the whole castle restored to its past glory. The garden is not than expansive but is well kept and a great addition.

If you love baroque French châteaus and gardens nestled in a little Burgundian valley this is for you. Tre magnifique!

We arrived half an hour before closing time. The very annoyed looking 'madame' at the desk refused to sell us tickets to the gardens even though there was not a word about such policy - it was only stated that the last admission of tickets into the interiors would be 45min before closing time. No word about exteriors. They showed a total lack of willingness. Thus we could not see anything of the chateau which might have been beautiful...

I went to this chateau only because it was close to where I was and it was on the paper map I picked up. But it was seriously an amazing chateau!! The story of Bussy and the paintings around the inside of the chateau was fascinating and it was a really beautiful building. The gardens were pretty, the staff really helpful and friendly and it was altogether a lovely 2 hours spent wandering around. Highly recommended
