Frequently asked questions

The château is in Cellettes, about 10 km south of Blois. The nearest station is Blois-Chambord, about 7 km away, served in season by the Rémi “Navette Châteaux” shuttle (it ran 4 April–1 November in 2026 — check the current timetable) and by taxi. It's also close to Cheverny and Chambord, making it easy to combine with other Loire châteaux.

The local tourist board suggests allowing at least an hour; most visitors spend one and a half to two hours across the château and gardens — longer if the rose garden or the Jardin des Portraits particularly interest you. Remember the château is a 600 m walk from the ticket office, at either end of the visit.

Partly. Inside the château, access for visitors with reduced mobility is to the ground floor only — which does include the Galerie des Illustres. Some park paths are gravel, and the château stands about 600 m from the ticket office along winding paths. The estate is listed as Tourisme & Handicap certified; contact the château ahead of your visit for guidance on the best route.

Yes, personal photography is welcome throughout the château and gardens. Flash and tripods may be restricted in the Galerie des Illustres to protect the 17th-century portraits and tiled floor, and staff on site will advise where that applies.

No — the château and gardens are open daily from 3 April to 11 November 2026, then close for the winter for individual visitors; groups can arrange visits year-round by appointment. Hours vary by season, running longest in July and August. Check the operator's current calendar before travelling.

A 26-metre gallery holding 327 portraits of the kings, queens and statesmen who shaped French political history from 1328 to 1643, painted under a lapis-lazuli ceiling and set above a floor of 5,600 Delft tiles depicting a marching army. It's the château's signature room and the reason most visitors come.
