I was surprised by the absence of tourists as such, not only in the castle, where the entrance fee is 8 euros, but also in the beautiful large park, which you can visit and admire absolutely free of charge. The park occupies almost 85 hectares and is called "Remarkable Garden", as it is included in the list of the most beautiful in the Paris region. The castle is famous for its valuable collection of furniture and paintings from the 18th century. You can get on the RER A and then either 20 minutes on foot or by bus 220 directly to the entrance to the castle.
A bit of interesting information from the history of the castle: in 1718 the owner of the estate ended up in the Bastille on charges of embezzlement of public funds, and the palace was given to the illegitimate daughter of the king, who was not slow to transfer it to pay her debts to her cousin, the Duke de Lavaliere. Under the Lavaliers, the interiors of the palace were decorated in the Rococo style. Here is Charles de Gaulle in 1959.
ordered to restore Champs-sur-Marne so that visiting heads of foreign states living in France would live here. And only in 1974 the palace became a public museum, to the delight of tourists. Many historical films were filmed here.
