For us, it's more of a theme park than an amusement park. The various shows are all brilliant. We're constantly surprised by the sets and the technology used to change scenes. As a bonus, the history of France... Thank you for your endless imagination! The only downside was our disappointment with the food stalls. Never any wine to drink. Except at the grange aux fiefs. Beer everywhere, though!

All the must-see shows are very cool. The one we liked the most is Le signe du Triomphe. The pity is that we didn't have time to see Le Secret de la Lance as they close relatively early. On the downside: we went on a Friday and the evening show had to be paid for.

Chambord: An exceptional château, and a very nice guide who challenged the simplistic view of the relais de chasse, which, when you read the facts, doesn't hold water. A great time. A must-see!

Buying the tickets online was easy and saved me from standing on a long, slow moving, ticket line. I bought them right outside the ticket office. Chambord was very busy and I could not enjoy the chateau as much as in the past due to time constraints. Next time I will plan better.

We got in without any problems by skipping the queue at the ticket office. When purchasing you have to choose a date but the validity of the tickets is longer (it is written on the confirmation email, although sometimes it doesn't match what it says on the website). We had to change our plans and use some tickets on different days and had no problems.

The thread-cutting tickets are very practical and avoid queuing, especially for CHAMBORD, where there are a lot of people waiting in front of the ticket office. For free admission for children, it's now possible to go directly to the château entrance to collect their ticket, and then pick up the histopads at the same time. Despite the crowds, traffic flows smoothly through the château (even on August 15), and it's perfectly possible to take a picnic lunch in the grounds around the château.

My opinion is only "acceptable" because it's the least I can do to ensure that my visit went smoothly. I would have been delighted if something extraordinary, something unexpected had happened, which was not the case. What's more, the price of the tickets was the same as those sold on site, and as the queue wasn't long, I wasn't able to make use of the "line cutter". What can you offer me financially so that I can say goodbye to a normal service? In a few days' time I'll be receiving another review for another visit, for which my assessment will be very negative. See you soon. Best regards. Michel Mercier
