An intriguing exhibition, like a strange and delightful interlude.
The castle as you've never seen it before
Bizarreries exhibition: the château's storerooms open at last
There are no “classics” here, and no expected settings. Bizarreries takes you behind the scenes, to the storerooms where strange, beautiful, baffling or simply impossible-to-categorize objects lie dormant.
Three centuries of history have left unexpected traces: instruments with forgotten uses, pieces of uncertain origin, curiosities that tell the story of daily life at the château.
A perfect visit if you like to be surprised, and leave with a story to tell.

A visit that moves from curiosity to amazement
A journey in three stages, between the unusual and the little known
The course is structured in three parts. Firstly, objects that tell the story of the château and how it works, with a “backstage and administration” aspect.
Then, the unusual takes over: unexpected pieces, such as dog portraits linked to Hortense Schneider, or a brass box surrounded by a legend.
Finally, there are objects marked by the upheavals of history and inventions that heralded modernity, including a book attributed to the library of Napoleon I, damaged by a cannonball.
