Vendeuvre, XNUMXth century jewel of Normandy
The Orangerie houses the world's first collection of miniature furniture: models, models, masterpieces, ivories, and miniature silverware. This reduced-scale panorama includes more than 800 small pieces of furniture and thousands of miniature objects. The Château has retained its original furniture and decoration. Discover an authentic interior where family paintings rub shoulders with games tables, dog houses and automatons. The family atmosphere, furniture and curios invite you to step back in time. In the Kitchens of the Château, more than 500 coppers are to be admired as well as the many secrets that chef Maurice reveals to you. In the gardens, beyond the pyramid-shaped cooler, let yourself be surprised by "the surprise water gardens", where water gushes out from all sides: Chinese bridge, Muses' lounge, crystal tree, turtle waterfall and cave of 200 shells.
