💡 Go on Saturday mornings when the fishmonger brings in oysters from Arcachon Bay. Get there before 10am for the best selection.
💡 Visitors often miss the restored 14th-century fresco behind the altar. Ask the caretaker to switch on the small spotlights if the church is open but dim.
💡 The best view of the ceramic murals is from the sports field side, which is accessible via the footpath off Rue Georges Mandel.
💡 Bring bread for the ducks and swans on the lake. The best light for photography is early morning or late afternoon in spring.
💡 Visit just before closing time (17:30) when the keepers do the round with extra feed – the deer and goats will be most active.
