2.Chambord: Entry Ticket to the Castle

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 1,841 reviews · 1 day · from $24

Review of Chambord Castle entry tickets, with practical tips on rooms, gardens, skip-the-ticket-line access, costs, and what to expect.

“Aún cuando a algunos les parecerá un lugar lejano de Paris, Chambord es un sitio esencial de Francia. Su arquitectura, jardines y la tranquilidad que se respira son insuperables. Creo que puedo sugerir, sin temor a equivocarme, que debe ser uno de al menos dos lugares a visitar en esta zona del Valle de Loire. El segundo: Blois. Con respecto al Castillo, está lleno de sorpresas arquitectónicas contiene espacios y paisajes bellísimos y pasar un rato debe ser un must do para cualquier persona que, con suficiente tiempo, visite Francia! Destacan las escaleras, los torreones, las vistas desde los jardines y desde lo alto del palacio, hay muchísimo que ver…”

9.Pierrefonds: Château de Pierrefonds Entrance Ticket

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 152 reviews · 1 day · from $10Best value

Explore Château de Pierrefonds near Paris, a dramatic medieval-style castle with grand halls, film locations, dungeons, and excellent value.

“Increíble experiencia, es un castillo impresionante que vale mucho la pena conocer. En transporte público desde paris te haces hora y media, lo que sí hay que pagar Uber por un trayecto como de 20 min pero totalmente lo vale, además no es un lugar turístico muy concurrido (a comparación de Versailles por ejemplo) por lo que va más gente local, lo que facilita tomarse fotos y moverse con más facilidad y tener una mejor experiencia en ese aspecto. El personal además de todo es muy amable.”

The Chateau was beautiful, well-furnished with period pieces, extremely well-maintained - especially the grounds. The pre-recorded audio guide told an interesting story of the chateau, and made the experience more meaningful.”

12.Chateau of Rambouillet Entrance Ticket

★★★★★★★★★★4.4 · 31 reviews · 1 day · from $12

Explore Rambouillet Castle, a former presidential retreat with royal rooms, diplomatic history, gardens, and a €12 self-guided visit.

“Visité el Castillo de Rambouillet y la verdad me gustó, aunque la experiencia fue bastante rápida. El recorrido por el interior me tomó apenas unos 30 minutos, ya que en ese momento el segundo piso estaba cerrado, lo cual dejó la visita un poco incompleta. El lugar en sí es bonito y tiene mucha historia, pero comparado con otros castillos de la región se siente más pequeño y menos impresionante. Aun así, las salas abiertas son elegantes y conservan ese aire histórico que te transporta a otra época. Creo que lo más valioso de este sitio es el entorno: los jardines, el parque y la tranquilidad que lo rodea hacen…”
