We visited this beautiful chateau a few years ago and I recall it being the most difficult to find of any we have visited in France, almost like the locals didn't want visitors, so few and inaccurate were the signs we found.
It was in the days before satnav and we eventually found our way there, using our map with far too little detail to be truly useful!
A beautiful place though, so glad we persevered.
Thanks Kavey.
