Use in Film and Television
The house and its grounds were used as the home of the main villain Hugo Drax (played by Michael Lonsdale) in the 1979 James Bond film Moonraker. In addition, the chateau appeared in several episodes of The Revolution, which is a documentary television series about the American Revolutionary War that was broadcast by History in 2006. It can also be seen in the background in the film The Man in the Iron Mask.

Famous quotes containing the words film and/or television:
“This film is apparently meaningless, but if it has any meaning it is doubtless objectionable.”
—British Board Of Film Censors. Quoted in Halliwell’s Filmgoer’s Companion (1984)
“It is among the ranks of school-age children, those six- to twelve-year-olds who once avidly filled their free moments with childhood play, that the greatest change is evident. In the place of traditional, sometimes ancient childhood games that were still popular a generation ago, in the place of fantasy and make- believe play . . . today’s children have substituted television viewing and, most recently, video games.”
—Marie Winn (20th century)
