Quelle pure merveille le château de vandeuvre et son jardin extraordinaire!! Des surprises vous attendent au détour d'une allée....très romantique et original.
Il faut voir aussi l'exposition sur la collection de miniatures.

I know this review is at odds with others here - but just trying to be objective and fair. No axe to grind - love France - just not this place.

The grounds are simply second-rate and are not well-cared for. The lawns are mowed but have weeds in them. Topiary hedges out the back were last trimmed ages ago and are ugly. Some weeds in the gardens are literally one meter high.

Wonderful castle. Richly restored and an impressive collection of miniature furniture. Lovely gardens. This spot is worth to be visited

For non-French speaking visitors, it is difficult to find your way around the grounds. The direction signs are totally inadequate and the information signs are all in French only. There is an English-language paper-based guide folder for the Chateau itself - but nothing for the rest of the site. If you want a map to find your way around, it costs an extra €2 - on top of the €11 you paid to get in.

Excellent. Autant pour le musée des miniatures, l'exposition Animal et Art, les mobiliers d'habitation que le parc jardins d'eau Surprises.
A voir sans modération.

All the water-features and ponds/lakes are disgustingly filthy and stagnant with dead vegetation floating in them. Look like they are never cleaned.

An €11 entry price is really 'up there' compared to most other similar places we have visited in France.

Le parc est magnifique et la visite du château très agréable pour petits et grands. Les jardins sont joliement aménagés et soignés. C est un très joli endroit qui permet de s évader et rêver.

We had high expectations for this visit and it could, and should, have been great. It turned out to be a real disappointment. Very sad.

Had a wonderful visit at this well-presented site. Made a great day with family out of it. Highly recommended to all.

Il serait agréable de préciser les jours d'ouverture...... Nous avons fait deux fois 100 kms ce jour pour visiter le château et à 13h40, tout était fermé!!!!!!Merci

Expensive/overpriced and run-down. The chateau itself is sort of OK but is not well-presented - eg all the electric faux-candles are wonky in their stands, as if someone doesn't really care.

If you have an expensive attraction that purports to show the grandeur of 18th-century high-society French country life, it needs to be very well-presented. Unfortunately this place just looks tired, run-down and uncared-for.
