This castle houses historic apartments from the 18th century, the First Empire and the Second Empire...
Fortress built under Charles V, the castle was completely rebuilt under Louis XV in the 18th century. After the revolution, NapoleonI had it restored to accommodate his second wife in 1810. Then, the castle knew a new hour of glory under Napoleon III. The castle became a national museum after the fall of the imperial regime in 1870. Today, you can visit the historical apartments of the 18th century, the First Empire and the Second Empire, the museum of the Second Empire and the car museum. The park of the castle is quite spectacular.

Members' reviews on CASTLE OF CONVENIENCE
The ratings and reviews below reflect the subjective opinions of members and not the opinion of The Little Witty.
Ne vous détrompez pas, l'aménagement du mobilier et "l'habillage" des pièces vaut le coup d'oeil (surtout les gravures en trompe l'oeil).
Mais sa force en fait aussi sa faiblesse, tout date de la grande restauration et tente, avec beaucoup de difficulté, de nous plonger dans 2 époques antérieures distinctes en même temps.
De plus les indications à l'intérieur nous invitent à nous promener et à apprécier les lieux à notre rythme. Ce qui n'est pas de l'avis du personnel, qui avec très peu de tacte, nous exprime son opinion sur le sens de la visite et sur les enfants qui s'assoient sur le sil de la salle de balle alors qu'il n'y a personne.
