It was magical ✨ I was immediately enchanted by this beautiful garden and château.

Great garden with church. Tour time approx. 30 minutes. There are picnic tables and drinking water. Small dogs are kindly allowed in the bag, but are not allowed to run around freely. Unfortunately it's very dry at the moment but it's still worth a visit. A bit expensive at €9 per adult. The children were free of charge.

It is a garden which is staged on 4 terraces, themselves endowed with a private garden, which is rare. It is attributed to François Mansart. There is probably a lack of flowers at the end of May. But the whole is very endearing and worth the visit. By meditating on the words of Jacques de Lacretelle "The finery of an Italian princess thrown over the shoulders of a little Norman peasant girl"...

Nous nous sommes vus ce jour refuser l'accès avec un chien d'assistance, contrairement à la loi du 11 février 2005 sur l'égalité des droits des personnes handicapées. Réponse au propriétaire. Merci d'avoir pris le temps de répondre. A mon tour de profiter de votre réponse pour vous rappeler que la loi prévoit les même droits pour les chiens en cours de formation accompagnés de leurs familles d'accueil, qu'il n'est pas nécessaire qu'une personne handicapée soit présente (ces chiens sont en formation et donc par définition pas encore attribués à un ou une bénéficiaire), que contrairement à vos dires le chien portait sa cape et qu'enfin j'ai indiqué être en possession de sa carte d'identification, laquelle reprend d'ailleurs au verso l'extrait applicable de la loi du 11 février 2005. Autant d'éléments que vous auriez pu vérifier en descendant échanger avec nous au lieu de vous contenter de nous opposer une fin de non recevoir au téléphone depuis vôtre fenêtre. En espérant que lors de notre prochain passage nous puissions apprécier votre travail. Cordialement.

Clementinum

The Clementinum is a historic complex of buildings in Prague. Until recently the complex hosted the National, University and Technical libraries, the City Library also being located nearby on Mariánské Náměstí. The Technical library and the Municipal library have moved to the Prague National Technical Library at Technická 6 since 2009. It is currently in use as the National Library of the Czech Republic.

Its history dates from the existence of a chapel dedicated to Saint Clement in the 11th century. A Dominican monastery was founded in the medieval period, which was transformed in 1556 to a Jesuit college. In 1622 the Jesuits transferred the library of Charles University to the Klementinum, and the college was merged with the University in 1654. The Jesuits remained until 1773, when the Klementinum was established as an observatory, library, and university by the Empress Maria Theresa of Austria.
