Audio-guide

The chapel, drawing rooms, kitchen…each "room" is indicated by a number between 1 and 20 and an icon. If you are in a bit of a hurry, choose the short version (it lasts from 40 to 45 minutes depending on the language).

From the old keep and the remains of the fortified medieval mill to the garden of Diane de Poitiers (who became chatelaine in 1547) you will discover the Renaissance and the Grand Siècle in a new way. You will walk in the footsteps of Voltaire, Marivaux, Montesquieu, Buffon and Rousseau before perhaps returning to your personal iPod to continue with music to the restaurant of the Orangerie.

Do you have a little extra time? The long version lasts 90 minutes. You can even "zap" at any point if you are interested in one element less than another. Or, on the contrary, if a picture, fireplace, or any piece of furniture particularly appeals to you, you can stay with it longer.
