Musée Louis-Philippe

Town centre museum Not sure if it was because we are English or because it was the end if the season but the staff didn't seem too bothered to help & over charged us! Not overly interesting. Grounds weren't very impressive either! My maternal paternal family goes back at least nine generations living in Eu proper - while my maternal/maternal family was sourced from Corsica in the late 18th century, but, that's irrelevant to this review. What is relevant is that the Chateau has been a backdrop for most of my youthful summers - and some of those in adulthood. American tourists might very well overlook Eu, but it has a rich history - mainly that which includes Guillaume le Conquerant (William the Conquerer) as well as Lorcán Ua Tuathail (St. Laurence O'Toole the Archbishop of Dublin - back in the Norman conquest days). Regardless, the Chateau itself is host to several significant historical events. For Anglophiles, of interest would be Queen Victoria's summer stays in 1843 and 1845 as guest of Louis Philippe. the cost of a self-guided tour is modestly priced. If you're reading this, then you're very likely considering going anyway - so my review is moot. I'll let the photos do the talking. botanists will enjoy the classic French gardens, interior decorators of yesteryear will take interest in the over-the-top interiors. Back in the mid-sixties, the town of Eu took possession of the Chateau. Today, the town hall is situated on the property. If you're visiting the Chateau, it'd be a shame for you not to experience the St. Laurent O'Toole chapel at the top of the overlooking northern hill - as well as the Collegial (what most of you might think of when you think of Cathedrals from the era of Cluny). A beautiful restored castle, once the summer court of the last king of the French, Louis-Philippe. Queen Victoria visited him twice there, so why should not you? Check it out, for real! c ;-) As most touristic places in France, the French seem to forget the non-french speaking tourists. Such a lovely place, but all textual information is ONLY in french. The lack of information in e.g. English is a big downside. PS the ladies at the reception were very kind, and that is also kind of common. If you are into the history of glass making, this small compact museum is must to visit. From hand blown glass to early glass bottle making machines that suppled the household, wine, pharmaceutical and perfume industries across France. Fascinating experience. "Being in Eu is like a dream. I have the impression that my favourite dream has come true. But it is not a dream, its a charming reality. The château is a delight. Interesting museum, very kind staff. Well worth a visit, 30 minutes from Dieppe and with interesting decor that is very well maintained. The gardens are equally interesting. The town is typically french and not developed. We had an enjoyable day here.
