Very nice Castle to visit, partly due to the excellent speaking English speaking guide. She is British. She told a lot of fun and also for the children. A visit is highly recommended. Beautiful location.

A castle that seems not much at first, but with a lot of rooms to discover in the end and a passionate and exciting guide who gave us lots of interesting information about this castle. The only downside is the parking level where it has well understood the logic of the parking lot, there's a little in every sense. A nice visit however.

Campaign Castle, of renaissance style unpretentious next to the castles of the Loire, but which is of important historical interest. The surroundings are very well maintained and inside the Castle. Some facades are damaged but when one knows the history we understand why. The tour is very well done and the explanations are possible in English for our British friends. Regarding prices, surprisingly cheap rate: 6 euros for an adult over 25 years, free below. The guided tour is included in the rate. We recommend this tour. This castle deserves to be better known.
