The travelling exhibition, recreated each year by Studio Epicure designers, features 15 full-scale models of chateau life such as a harp, a puppet theatre and an Empire desk plus a 1.5m model of the chateau made from 28,000 bricks that took 120 hours to build.

The chateau has been in the Marquis de Vibraye’s family for six centuries and hosts the exhibition, complete with Lego workshop to build your own model, until November 2.
