In a vast park, around the 18th-century château, three types of garden follow one another: French gardens, utility gardens with a pyramid-shaped ice house and, among the luxuriant vegetation and topiaries, "surprise" water gardens, from which water spurts out fanciful constructions (Chinese bridge, temple, kiosk, grotto with 200,000 shells, labyrinths). Children will love looking for the hidden rabbit! In summer, you can discover the exotic garden, where palms, banana trees and plants from the ends of the earth flourish in the heart of Normandy.
Also worth a visit:
- The Museum of Miniature Furniture, the world's leading collection, in the Orangerie.
- The château's authentic interior, where family pictures stand side by side with automata and tables set with period porcelain and glassware.
- The kitchens and their collection of 500 coppers.
- The collection of 18th-century kennels for dogs and ... cats!
