I booked before I went to France so I just had to have my ticket scanned. Didn't have to queue to buy a ticket. Got there nice and early and the place was not too busy, it was heaving when I left 2 hours later. It is a beautiful chateau, the artwork is amazing, could have spent a lot longer there to see everything in detail, it was quite wonderful

The Château de Pierrefonds is a remarkable medieval castle built in the 14th century that was dismantled in the 17th century. Napoleon III imagined this castle into reality and from the ruins arose the reinvented castle of Pierrefonds! Admire the medieval-style reconstruction adapted by Napolean’s trusted architect, Eugène Viollet-le-Duc, who breathed life into Naploean’s fantasy of turning this landmark to his French country home. Walk past the intricately-sculpted decors along with the quirky paintings that adorn the walls. As you stroll along the stone walkways, picture an active defense system in place: we’re talking creaking drawbridges, rakish invaders, and valiant knights on white horses! Head downstairs to the basements and lurk around the tombs that rest here.
