Go to Chateau de Balleroy
I got very excited when we went past this chateau after taking a wrong turn and we looked it up in the guide book, it mentions that the gardens are by the same designer as Versailles, what the book didn't mention is that all the back gardens were destroyed in the Revolution and only the front remain. The house is surrounded by now parkland but not a Versailles style garden.
It's quite expensive to get it, the English tour of the house was in very bad English and the guide couldn't answer any questions that weren't on the script and the Balloon museum wasn't up to very much. To be honest - there are a lot of better ways to spend your 9 Euros.
