This is a beautiful Château. The grounds are impeccable and the inside as well. You are not free to walk around inside the Château but must be in a guided tour. The tour guide speaks French only. However, there is a brochure in English so you can follow along that way if you do not speak French. Our guide was very humorous according to my husband, who does speak French. We enjoyed it very much.

Beautiful castle and grounds. The tour of the castle itself was very informative and personal. We really loved strolling around the grounds. Also, it is not at all busy and very peaceful. I will go back.

A visit to Château de La Motte-Tilly is like being a guest of some very pleasant, if unfamiliar people. Here you will be told about the life of the house, the objects that have come out of use, the people who lived here or are depicted in the portraits, and the old print books (as if just to keep you occupied while dinner is being served). This is the atmosphere that the last owner, marquise de Maillé, wished to preserve at the castle. In the early 1970s, she transferred the estate and the park of over 1,000 hectares to the French State as she had no direct heirs left. This was a perfect solution to preserve the interiors and furnishings that the marquise and her father had spent dozens of years on (re)creating and not let history repeat itself at the end of the 18th century when, following the death of the manor's founder, the last Minister of Endance under Louis XV, and the ensuing Revolution, the castle fell into disrepair for more than a century. Now this mid-18th-century "hunting lodge" together with the park makes a very pleasant impression, so I think Colin Firth and Miloš Forman spent a wonderful time here in the late 1980s working on the film "Valmont".

A beautiful small château just outside Paris. The buildings and grounds are kept well. Entrance to the grounds is free and it only costs €8 to see inside the château. We saw orchids and cowslips amongst the many small flowers that cover the cut grass.

Beautifully well preserved and furnished château, with knowledgeable and friendly guide. Going back for sure for the special guided visit of the grounds! I highly recommend. Château guided tour 8€, but you can visit the beautiful grounds for free, and have a picnic there in the warm seasons.
