I originally left a positive review but on further exploration of the grounds and the castle, this is among the worst places I have ever been. Every piece of it is hideously ugly, including both the house and the gardens. And if you like me make the mistake of coming in the high season, it will be too crowded for you to breathe, let alone "enjoy" the scenery. I would not come back here if you paid me. This place is garbage. The gardens are a waste of time, the palace is a waste of time, skip this if you value your time at all in Paris. What a garbage heap. I can't say strongly enough: don't waste your limited time in Paris on this trash. If you want to see good examples of this style, check out the Louvre, specifically Napoleon's apartment.

Update: I also stepped in a huge puddle of piss in the restrooms, which is about how I feel about the whole adventure
