It is preferable to be accompanied by someone as the ground gravel in certain areas can be difficult for wheelchair users. For our visually impaired visitors and their “guide” dogs. We provide a free audio-guide for the duration of your visit (Braille keypad). Due to compatibility issues with our « birds of prey », your dog will not be able to accompany you to the Bird of Prey demonstration.
New Addition! We provide our wheelchairs users with a touchscreen tablet that enables them to have a virtual tour of all the rooms in the castle.
A nice review from a visitor:
“Congratulations! This place has regained a true soul. We feel the sincere efforts of an entire team to make this château a place of memory and hope, undoubtedly as Josephine would have wished. Her presence still seems to resonate within the walls.
As a family from Franche-Comté with three teenagers, we spent over an hour in the restored chapel. What a discovery! A remarkable restoration project, full of surprises, and magnificently explained, worthy of a museum.
We were then able to enjoy a leisurely picnic, without feeling rushed, at the bottom of the peaceful and splendid garden, almost walking in Josephine’s footsteps.
The falconry show was a wonderful interlude, both informative and entertaining.
Then came the tour of the château, conducted with great coherence: the chronology of the key events in Josephine’s life is clear, without excess or omission.
Bravo to the teams who have managed to combine history, falconry and restoration, while preserving the essential: this unique feeling of an inhabited place, full of life. Rather than closing itself off in nostalgia, the château brings Joséphine, her way of being, her art of living and her philosophy back to life, with sensitivity.”
