Built in the early 16th century on a site fortified as early as the 11th century to guard the border with Normandy, the château of Ambleville is best known for its terraced garden, reshaped between the two world wars. Three levels unfold in imitation of Italian models, combining a water parterre, a chessboard pattern of clipped yew hedges, and an open view over the valley. A visit covers both the garden, awarded the remarkable garden label, and the interior of the château.

What to know

• The visit of the château itself takes about 45 minutes, while the gardens can be explored at your own pace.
