Came to the small town of Tanlay for the chateau. We brought our Bulldog with, so we just wen for the exteriour visit. Be aware of the opening times (it's closed for lunchtime) when you visit. The chateau was completed around in the middle of the 17th century. Even though construction have begun almost 100 years earlier. It's been in the hands of the same family since the 18th Century and is still owned by them. It's a really nice chateau. Maybe not the biggest you've seen, but definitely one of the prettiest. It's a real looker. With the moat surrounding it it's a picture-perfect castle. Make sure to go for a walk in the park/woods behind the castle. It's an easy, flat walk along the water. Dogs allowed here as well. A nice and relaxing spot with only few visitors. Staff here was very nice and friendly, very welcoming. And 3 Euros for the exteriour visit a real steal. It takes a lot of money and manpower to take care of this chateau and its surroundings. A very rewarding visit. Really enjoyed it. If you arrive by car you can park for free along the main road, just 1-2min away from the chateau. read more
