Room for rest

When you visit the château at Azay-le-Rideau, you enter through one of the buildings that frame the forecourt of the castle grounds. This building is also where visitors exit and where, naturally, the gift shop is located. It also houses the public rest rooms, just through the large doors where the people are standing in this photo.

The building where the toilets are is bigger than my house.

When we got our tickets, I noticed that the price was lower than what was posted. I didn't understand why until we got inside (because I didn't bother to read the sign that probably explained it very clearly). The castle grounds are undergoing renovation and most of the park was closed to visitors. So they knocked a couple of euros off the entrance fee.
