Chateau du Rivau, Lemere

A lovely little Château with lots to see for all the family. Art and sculptures; gardens; mazes and installations all make for an interesting visit. On a good day, lunch at the courtyard restaurant is a must. Recommended.

Beautiful chateau and garden's spoilt by too much "clever" art. Sadly we couldn't get anything to eat or drink in the terrace restaurant as it was fully booked and under staffed. Shame that we weren't informed that we needed to book when we bought our entry tickets two hours earlier. ☹️

A joy to visit. The gardens were lovely with some wonderful, original sculptures. Great for children and adults. Inside the castle there is a really great exhibition with a fantastic, eclectic, imaginative and humourous collection. Lots of interesting and funny details that one has to look for as they are mixed in with the more serious stuff. Yet again, very entertaining for all ages. Definitely worth a visit. Make sure you have plenty of time to go everywhere. There's a restaurant or you can take a picnic.

Fantastic place to visit with children. The gardens are very, very well designed. My 5 year old loved exploring them. They were magical. The art on display in the château is very interesting. Not to everyone's tastes. Half of our group loved it and the other half not so much. I thought it was brilliant. Overall, a great way to spend a few hours. Would definitely recommend.

If you see one Chateau during a visit to the Loire make it this one. It's got a beautiful garden, lots of fun things to keep children happy and the chateau itself is not too big. There is a boutique hotel there, (great place for a wedding), restaurant and of course....a gift shop.
