Enclosed on three sides and open to the west overlooking the town, it took on its current form under Napoleon I, who had the famous ceremonial gate installed. This courtyard, also known as the «Cour du Cheval Blanc» since the 16th century, is lined with remarkable façades and offers privileged access to the royal apartments of the château. Surrounded by gardens and vast green spaces, it is an ideal place for families to stroll and is perfect for children. The Cour d'Honneur charms visitors with its unique atmosphere, blending medieval, Renaissance and classical heritage, and invites them to discover an exceptional heritage in a prestigious setting.
