This mansion is smaller than many or it's neighbors but well worth a visit. It was the home a man involved in American-Asian trade and three generations of his family occupied it until it was sold and the furnishings sold at auction.

Very enjoyable with a great tour guide who could answer all our questions. It was a great stop on a not so good weather day.

Thisd mansion has the most impressive collection of trees! The grounds are decorated with somme truly unique trees from around the world. The Chateau is not the largest mansion, but it is still very interesting. It was the only mansion we visited that had a 'live' tour (the rest had headsets/self tours) and the guide was very knowledgeable.

Whether they were original to the house or not, some of the items there were very unique. I also liked the fact that a docent led the tour,...

unlike the pre-recorded tours at the Elms and Marble House (also great), the guided tour of Chateau-sur-Mer was really fun.

Not your typical marble mansion... updated to reflect arts and crafts style which is a favorite. The wood work is beautifully carved
