Entry was fast & straightforward and the AR tablet was great for giving information and also brought each room to life with a video of what each room would have looked like when the chateau was inhabited.

AR screen was largely unresponsive, meaning we did not get full advantage of the experience. Disappointed that the cafe was closed on a hot afternoon. The exhibits, however, were very interesting...
