very interesting to visit this very old castle built in middle age, then rebuilt (extended) during different centuries and style. be aware that one visit is only for the ground floor certainly the most interesting and one for the upper floor, only few bedrooms to visit so before going there ask which time which visit. the guide are very good and will show you many details and share a lot of nice stories and history. a good place to visit

Free parking, 17 euros for family of four. We really felt we got our money's worth going through the rooms of this decorated chateau. Particularly the loft rooms were an experience. Well worth a look and lovely grounds and a moat with otters!

Access all areas! Possible to visit all rooms and even climb up into the rafters where the chateau military lodged. There are guided tours available but plenty of information if you want to wander around on your own. Very interesting, and a lovely town to boot.

We voted the Chateau de Sully-sur-Loire as having the best moat. One could easily see here how the medieval castles were fortresses set-up for defending territory. We climbed to the top tower area where soldiers would have kept watch for enemies and from where they would shoot arrows and drop stones on their foes. This is not a royal castle. It focusses on the castle as the home of the Duke and Duchess of Sully and the place where they reigned over their dukedom. Explanations were written on plaques in each room in both French and English.

The building and grounds are impressive. The people are all very nice. There wasn't a tour in English when I visited so I had to work off a paper tour created by the Dowager Duchess who, I gather, is a Scott. It was interesting... but didn't completely correspond to the rooms that we visited. The Chateau is particularly interesting as a view into a bygone era. You can only really visit a handful of rooms... and they give you an glimpse at a by-gone era. But as you walk around you get the feeling that there is a lot of work to do and no money to do it... cracking plaster, worn woodwork, paintings with holes in them...They are making an effort to sell products from the land and to make the Chateau more self-supporting ... but hard to see how it will succeed. An interesting and somewhat sad place to visit.

great location and lovely walks around the chateau and in to the small town. lots of renovation work has been carried out to ensure this stunning chateau is there for future generations to see

This is a handsome chateau which has been occupied recently enough to retain still a (slightly) home-like feeling. It is not as grand as many in the Loire valley, but has a bedroom in which Louis XIV slept. There are some lovely antiques inside, but their dates are all mixed up and the purist will not like some of the juxta-positions. The outside certainly rates a few pictures and some of the paintings on display, mainly family portraits are exceptionally good. There is plenty of free parking and the autoroute is only 15 minutes away.

There must be a better way to spend 15 Euro and an hour in the area. Perhaps a more engaging guide would have made the experience more meaningful, but frankly we found him rude. With all of the other options in the region I would opt for something else.

Stay in the town of Bayeux where you can walk to restaurants and tours. This place is nice, but out of town. It is fine if you have a car. Food is really average. Not worth the price they charge for the dinner, or the room.

Took my children (4 and 6) to Chateau de Sully. They have a 'Princess in the castle' animation. It takes about 1h and very well done, terminated with some cake and juice in the garden. Price is 6.70€/person. Very nice way to explain the history of the castle to children. The visit was done in french.The shop of the castle is offering games/princess dresses (too expensive!) and pirates T-shirts, lots of game, local food specialities, wine testing and vegetables from the garden of the castle. A very good break for the children.Nice place to do a picnic.Remark : I thought that some princess/pirate costumes for the children would be included in the animation but I was wrong. Either you take your own costume from home or you buy at the shop (dress was between 70 €.....far too expensive). I had not taken any princess dress for my daughter so she was very sad when she saw other children with some very nice dresses. Think about it before booking this visit in order to avoid tears! This is the only negative point I found in this children animation.

Castelo bem cuidado, preservado e quando voc¨º ¨¦ o ¨²nico visitante com seus amigos a aventura fica ainda melhor. Atendimento personalizado. Perfeito para descansar e iniciar o roteiro dos castelos do vale.

Une soir¨¦e fabuleuse, fait de d¨¦tail et d'une mise en sc¨¨ne extraordinaire.La r¨¦putation positive des spectacles ou des soir¨¦es anim¨¦es en ce lieu est une r¨¦alit¨¦. Le 31 Octobre 2014, environ 40 personnes ont jou¨¦es le jeu... D¨¦guisements de rigueurs, sorciers, vampires, marquis ou zombis, attendaient sur le pont, le d¨¦but de la soir¨¦e.Notre ma?tre de c¨¦r¨¦monie et conteur, arm¨¦ d'une simple lanterne, nous a fait faire le tour du ch?teau...Notre attroupement effrayant avance dans les brumes de la nuit, avec le seul chuchotement du conteur qui raconte des histoires ¨¦tranges. Au bout de l'all¨¦e, une table ¨¦clair¨¦e de bougies nous attends, un cr¨¦mant de la famille Maginta nous est servi. Puis viendra l'entr¨¦e au Ch?teau dans la salle de r¨¦ception. Le menu est de grande qualit¨¦. Par la suite et par petit groupe, nous visiterons dans le noir des pi¨¨ces ou des drames se sont produits. Le clou du spectacle sera dans les ¨¦curies, une for¨ºt dans le brouillard....La magie des d¨¦cors! Je souligne la gentillesse du personnel, le ton th¨¦?trale et juste du conteur. C'¨¦tait du beau spectacle!!!!! Alors en rouuuuuuuuuute! Pour un prochain Halloween...

Le guide, v¨¦ritable acteur passionn¨¦ par "son" ch?teau, nous a fait d¨¦couvrir l'histoire romanesque de la famille des propri¨¦taires du ch?teau et les efforts des ma?tresses de maison pour entretenir ce ch?teau depuis ses origines. Nous avons vraiment ressenti l'amour d'un patrimoine exceptionnel dans cette famille qui se bat pour entretenir son ch?teau et la volont¨¦ de faire partager ce go?t aux visiteurs. L'architecture est expliqu¨¦e avec pr¨¦cision et notre guide a suffisamment d'histoires ¨¤ raconter pour rendre passionnante la visite m¨ºme si le nombre de pi¨¨ces visibles est limit¨¦ quoiqu'en augmentation depuis quelques ann¨¦es. Le prix d'une place de cin¨¦ma pour un voyage dans le temps en trois dimensions! Le parc permet d'appr¨¦cier les ext¨¦rieurs du ch?teau. Atmosph¨¨re tr¨¨s familiale ¨¤ l'accueil ou ¨¤ la boutique. la visite peut se conclure royalement par une d¨¦gustation des vins de la propri¨¦t¨¦, parmi les meilleurs cr?s de la Bourgogne.

Le ch?teau est superbe de l'ext¨¦rieur entour¨¦ de douves et pr¨¦sentant quatre fa?ades totalement diff¨¦rentes. La visite a commenc¨¦ avec une bonne demi-heure de retard, ce qui ne semble pas vraiment ¨ºtre une exception, le guide ayant effectivement ? beaucoup d'histoires ¨¤ raconter ?, comme le pr¨¦cise le site internet du ch?teau.Le ch?teau est toujours habit¨¦, fait qu'on met en avant pour se distinguer des ch?teaux appartenant ¨¤ des collectivit¨¦s publiques et ou "on n'a pas le droit de marches sur les tapis" ce qui a Sully est permis, on vous invite m¨ºme ¨¤ marcher sur la pelouse. Mais ce qu'on ne pr¨¦cise pas, c'est que vous ne pouvez pas marcher sur beaucoup de tapis ¨¦tant donn¨¦ qu'on ne vous montre que 2 pi¨¨ces et demie (salon, salon de billard et petite biblioth¨¨que) au rez-de-chauss¨¦e, apr¨¨s avoir pr¨¦cis¨¦ que les pi¨¨ces d'apparat se trouvent au 1er ¨¦tage. On entre d'ailleurs par "l'entr¨¦e famille" un petit vestibule sombre qui ne paye pas de mine pour se retrouver, apr¨¨s la visite d'un coin du rez-de-chauss¨¦e, dans la grande entr¨¦e dont on est autoris¨¦ ¨¤ emprunter l'escalier pour voir la seule pi¨¨ce du bel ¨¦tage, l'ancienne salle d'arme, aujourd'hui salle ¨¤ manger.Le guide, lui, est un vrai personnage, pr¨¦venant, charmant et bavard, ce qui explique la dur¨¦e 1h30 pour la cour int¨¦rieure et les quatre pi¨¨ces et 2 vestibules qu'on nous montre (+/- 20 min d'histoires par pi¨¨ce) mais est totalement insuffisant pour justifier le prix de 8,60€, qu'on paye pour voir un ch?teau!

Bien .... tr¨¨s bien !Rien ¨¤ dire, si ce n'est d'aller le voir et de se promener tout autour !Il est dommage que la partie boutique soit si peu "classe" avec des objets pour touriste lembda !
