Chateau de Breteuil, Choisel

Entrance just for the garden and park is around 11€. I recommend having a walk in the park (around 1h). There are two ponds and quite a lot of birds.

The antithesis to our recent visit of Versilles!! Friendly & quiet, peaceful beautiful gardens, helpful & interesting guides & a real sense of a family residence open to the public. We were lucky & did meet the Marquis who gave us some history about the Chateu during our tour & then we chatted to him after our visit. A real thoughtful effort has been put into entertaining children, who would no doubt be bored by the tour very quickly otherwise. I found the early refrideration system particulary interesting in the kitchen!! I got a real sense of the hostory of the place from the furniture & artifacts which are genuine to the Chateu itself, often unlike in other places, which are an assembly of dispirate period pieces. So glad we stumbled accross this visit :)

Charming chateau, well maintained, wax figures, interesting, Mostly suitable for kids. Worth visiting.

Beautiful castle with amazing gardens, a kids playground and a picnic area with a food vendor.

Really nice visit. We were greeted by a member of the family who owns the chateau and given a quick rundown of the history there before doing the visit without the guide. There was plenty to take in and the wax figures in costume were a lovely addition. If not for the rain, we would have stayed longer for some crepes and more promenades...it would be very easy to spend an entire afternoon there and very well organized for kids' activities.
