Less than a year after her mother's death, Victoria Botana de Beauvau-Craon, who owns the château with her brother Sébastian, opens the doors of the house they inherited in May 2023. She starts with the Alexander tapestries given by Duke Leopold, then stops in the Pillement drawing room, a Chinese-style room under restoration, where the conservators explain their training site for students.

Beyond the rooms open to the public, the tour goes into the private quarters: the family library, a bedroom left untouched, a bathroom with a tilting sink. She then climbs to the attics, her favorite part of the house, and goes down to the cellars her mother turned into an art gallery, before ending in the garden designed by Emilio Terry.
