A world heritage castle that you can take a day trip from Paris. Although it is said to be the largest in France, it is not as crowded as Versailles and is a hidden spot where you can enjoy yourself slowly. Not only the castle but also the vast garden is one of the highlights. We recommend visiting in the spring and summer when you can enjoy the flowers. There is also a walk plan by horse-drawn carriage.
