The place is rich with history and culture. Indeed, for a first timer in France, this place is a must! Photos cannot give justice to the beauty of the palace and the palace gardens. Make sure to spend at least half a day for this place so that you will still have time to go around the gardens. However, please be aware of the number of tourists that visit this place so I''d prefer you buy tickets in advance. In our case, we booked thru klook and we were able to skip the line.
