Château d'Eu, Renaissance castle and museum in Eu, France
Description
Château d'Eu is a castle complex in Normandy combining architecture from different periods into a harmonious whole. Inside, formal rooms display period furniture and paintings, while gardens with orderly paths and classical features extend the grounds.
History
Construction of the castle began in the 1500s and continued over generations, shaped by the Guise family and later additions. It gained royal importance when King Louis-Philippe chose it as a favored summer retreat during his reign.

The castle reflects the tastes and lifestyle of French royalty through its furnishings, porcelain, and artwork on display. Visitors can see how the royal family lived and what objects mattered to them.
Practical
Visit on mild weather days when the gardens are inviting and the interior spaces are comfortable to explore at your own pace. Wear proper footwear since the building has multiple levels and outdoor areas may be uneven.
