This castle from the beginning of the 17th century can be visited, both for its gardens and for its interior. You will notably discover a monumental stone staircase and a well-preserved Louis XIII apartment. Outside, a large boxwood labyrinth, a green theater, ponds and flower beds will delight young and old alike.

Besides having a pretty palace with a well landscaped park worth a couple of hours to visit, the town is proud of the original owner's anti-slavery position at a time when colonial exploitation was still very much en vogue elsewhere.

Surrounded by wide moats, the chateau, built from 1606 onwards, impresses by the monumentality of its military style facades. It contains an architectural feat, a hollow 21m high staircase, the oldest and largest in this technique.

The apartments, painted, sculpted and gilded with splendor in 1627-28, offer the most complete and best preserved testimony to the decorative art of the time of Marie de Médicis, complete with furniture, paintings, tapestries and period objects.

Over 10 hectares, the gardens, which have been restored since 1990, offer the different ambiences of a park dating back to the early 17th century: a vast flowerbed, a boxwood labyrinth with an aviary - belvedere, groves, a green theatre, a vegetable garden and water features. The guided tour of the seventeenth century apartments, the staircase, the C19th library and the kitchen lasts one hour. Walking through the gardens (parterres, maze, groves, outdoor theatre, Lamartine Walk, vegetable garden) requires 30-45 min.

Visitors may remain in the park until 20:00.

Entry 10:00 to 12:00 and 14:00 to 17:30,

from mid-July to mid-August: continuous opening from 10:00 to 18:00, but check their website for opening hour updates chateaudecormatin.com/en

The castle and the garden are really beautiful. In good weather you should take 2-3 hours to sit in peace in the different gardens.

The gardens are well maintained. The maze is also fun. Especially to the children.

In the castle you can look at some rooms.

The lady at the entrance was very friendly and helpful.

I recommend a visit.
