    This second most visited château in France (after Versailles), is a dream place to visit. The château to end all châteaux, a masterpiece of the French Renaissance. Climb the double-helix open staircase to the royal hunting exhibits. Higher still are the terraces, where roofs and chimneys form a strange fairy-tale village up in the air. Look down along the canal and beyond the canal to the wildlife reserve.

    Be sure to visit the 3D-movie room on the ground floor (accessible to disabled people). A virtual visit of the château using computer animation, giving you a fantastic insight into the château's construction, history and architecture.

    Enjoy the magnificent 1000 hectares (2,500 acres) of the National Wildlife Sanctuary, where you can picnic, cycle (rental available everyday April to November) or just stroll to the free observatories and watch the animals. Maps are available at the reception.

    A twice daily Horse Show takes place in the stables of the Marshall of Saxony near the château (11:45AM & 4:45PM May to September daily, except Mondays - 2007).
    Entrance fee - The royal castle is so impressive that it takes at least one hour to visit (8.50€ low season, 9.50€ high season - 2007).

    Audio commentary - Hand held audio devices are available in many languages to guide you around the Château (4.00€ - 2007).
