And for big family outings...
You may want to spend a day at the Futuroscope Park, which is a great success and is only an hour's drive from the château.

A dozen kilometres from the château, the Parc Animalier de la Haute Touche, in the heart of the Parc Naturel Régional de la Brenne, is also a great favourite with children.
