Absolutely a must see. It is not crowded and you literally have all the space to view the chateau and the other rooms with beautiful collections. A relaxing park where you walk through to see the other collections. To conclude, the castle and a small drink of coffee, wine or ice cream available. Across the street is a catering facility.

The name "Montagne de Trois Croix" already hinted at it, so it's no real surprise to find more than just a summit cross up here, which – as is common in many places – crowns the mountain peak. The central cross, standing in the middle, reminds the viewer of the execution of the incarnate Son of God, Jesus of Nazareth. According to biblical tradition, however, he was not condemned to death and crucified alone, but together with two criminals. By the way, more photos can be seen at the same highlight in the sport of 'hiking' =>> https://www.komoot.com/de-de/highlight/3398888
