A castle to absolutely see
Castle of the Kings of Majorca later fortified by Vauban in Perpignan which was Spanish for a long time before returning to the French

The ideal garden
That was the theme of the 2022 festival. All the proposals were interesting. A few gardens particularly touched me in their thinking and design. The immense Goualoup meadows transport us to every corner of the world. Throughout the castle grounds, the stable yard, the commons and the castle itself, artists compete for creativity. All works of art are sublimated in these enchanting gardens. We spent a whole day there without being able to see everything.

A beautiful discovery in the heart of the Loire Valley castles
We discover a succession of ephemeral creations made by gardening artists... There is something for everyone: from the classic to the most original. It is a real pleasure to see nature become artistic works! With the bonus of visiting a castle and its stables in the heart of a huge park!!!

Beautiful walk still but disappointed despite everything!
Every year I have the impression that we lose flavor, capacity, beauty and originality: less means? less creative? where is gone the Whaou effect we had when we entered a garden a few years ago! really disappointed: now the spaces look the same with the same plants and some decorations in the middle: one or two kinds of lots without much magic despite everything. The evolution of the upper part is more visible ..When to the small part catering! the homemade ice cream with original fragrances disappeared under Cover of covid ..excuse very average (other places continue quite on the contrary to sell beautiful local products of the same type) especially since the toilet space is not very clean: here on the other hand it would be necessary to make an effort with gel at the entrance of the toilet and regular cleaning .. that I am disappointed a real relaxation that I do not explain!

Great visit
With COVID . Very good organization. We follow a path so everyone goes in the same direction! Very nice to stroll in the gardens. A little pity that it lacks maintenance at the level of plant size. It grows a little in every way Beautiful castle to visit ... What a good time on the site. The price is correct

Why this scores 61
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
LOIRE VALLEY : Int'l Garden Festival at CHAUMONT + the king castle of CHAMBORD: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Paris.
How much does LOIRE VALLEY : Int'l Garden Festival at CHAUMONT + the king castle of CHAMBORD cost?
+
Prices start at $180 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Paris usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does LOIRE VALLEY : Int'l Garden Festival at CHAUMONT + the king castle of CHAMBORD take?
+
Plan for about 12 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Paris is not rushed.
Is LOIRE VALLEY : Int'l Garden Festival at CHAUMONT + the king castle of CHAMBORD worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 61 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.2/5 across 9 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Paris, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule LOIRE VALLEY : Int'l Garden Festival at CHAUMONT + the king castle of CHAMBORD?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is LOIRE VALLEY : Int'l Garden Festival at CHAUMONT + the king castle of CHAMBORD suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 6. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 12-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book LOIRE VALLEY : Int'l Garden Festival at CHAUMONT + the king castle of CHAMBORD?
+
Around 3 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Paris can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Paris and add a light layer if any part of the 12-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does LOIRE VALLEY : Int'l Garden Festival at CHAUMONT + the king castle of CHAMBORD start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Paris within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Paris?
+
Paris rewards travelers who book ahead. The headline museums sell timed entry weeks out, the best food walks cap at eight people, and the Seine cruises that are worth doing are the ones that leave after sunset. Everything below is scored by the Outty Ranking so you can tell a genuine local favorite from a coach-tour filler in a single glance. On Outty we rank every Paris experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Louvre Museum Essential Guided Tour Semi Private 6 GUESTS MAX, Louvre Museum Premium Guided Tour 6 GUESTS MAX Entry Included, Paris City Center Free Walking Tour (Tip-Based). The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Paris?
+
April to June and September to October, when queues thin out and terraces stay open late. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Paris?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
