Castle to visit absolutely! Very well done for the little ones with a top playground; worthy of a big playground for children.
An extraordinary storyteller and a magnificent park. The descendants making a presentation at the beginning of the visit gives a supplement of soul to this visit as interesting as adapted to the children!
