The Chanteloup Pagoda

The monument per se is not bad. But 12 Euros to see this, no, absolutely not. Better spend the money in one of the chateau nearby. The site is not well maintained, and apart from the pagoda there is nothing else to see. Not to mention the unnecessary long walk from the ticket office to the entrance. A big disappointment overall.

A nice change of pace from the other tourist attractions in the region. Not crowded at all so you have plenty of time to take in the scenery from each level of the tower. I noticed in some of the other reviews people complained about the condition of the tower and the garden. It is true that it is not perfectly manicured like some of the chateaus in the loire valley, however, the organic feel of the garden really adds to the charm. The garden and tower have a unique natural appeal that is a breath of fresh air compared to the more sterile environments at other attractions. The staff was attentive and friendly without being overbearing, and allow free range to explore the grounds.

No visitors, Chinese garden a bit overgrown. I have known of its existence for over 40 years. Time has not been kind to the place but its peace and quiet is actually a welcome change in a region that sees so many tourists.

A very peaceful parc, and not too crowded. The place is well maintained even the bathrooms. You can find different kinds of Chinese plants and flowers in the garden or take a boat to float in the lake. You can play the different games of Chanteloup or climb up the Pagode. At the end, don’t go without taking the picnic basket and have lunch in the beautiful garden.

It’s total cheating. Entrance for 12€ for nothing to offer. They offer dirty tower in really bad condition. Park is totally wild, poor and not conserved. Lake is not like in the advertisement books - just small lake without big canal which is empty. Boats are under water and cost additional 6€. And the best they force to enter and leave to park trough shop with second hand products.

Interesting 18th century folly, allocated remains of a once grand chateau. Impressive views from the top. A selection of games from bygone eras are available to play at no extra cost.

A long walk out of town worth the effort for tarte taking inn the cafe and stiff climb up seven stories of ever steeper spiral staircases

Nice panorama, great views, good historical movie, fun historical games. But desperitly needs a carpenter and a painter! Such a waste to let it get this far.
