General tips:

Tip: Visiting is rather strictly regulated. You must buy a ticket online in advance. A visit is limited to half a day (morning or afternoon). You must fully identify yourself at the time of reservation and make payment online. You will not be sent a ticket. At the entrance you then have to identify yourself. Not an everyday occurrence. When you make your reservation (20€ for everyone over 3 years old) you may also need to reserve a parking space if you are coming by car (5€). Don't forget to do this or you will have to park your car in the center of the village...
