Will be in Paris in a couple weeks and do want to visit the Chateau. Is there anything else in the immediate area, walking distance, or is it a single destination

As I recall there is no cafe - the Chateau is too small to warrant a cafe on the premises. If you look at a map of the area, about a mile away is the town center for Ruell-Malmaison and there seems to be a number of restaurants there. Enjoy your visit there!
We’re going to Paris in January. Would this be worth our time or should we go another time when it’s warmer? Thanks.

I visited on a cold rainy day in December , It was easy and pleasant to get around the house as there were few other people there . Good if you like to study the house contents …
I visited on a cold rainy day in December , It was easy and pleasant to get around the house as there were few other people there . Good if you like to study the house contents in detail . But much too cold and wet to enjoy the vast gardens .
