How long should I spend at Chaumont-sur-Loire Castle?

A typical visit to the castle can take 1.5–2 hours. This duration covers a tour of its interiors, including the royal apartments and contemporary installations, and time to explore the Diane de Poitiers and Catherine de’ Medici gardens.. However, if you’re visiting during the garden festival, which means an additional 30 gardens, prepare for at least a 3–4 hour visit.
