Review Restaurant Du Vieux Moulin - Chambord

We loved this place and the accommodation was superb. All the staff were excepionally friendly and the food at the Moulin restaurant was excellent again as was the service. We stayed in a room above the general store. It is newly refurbed and is very comfortable with a superb bathroom. My only criticism is that the bed needs a head board as the pillows push back into the window as there is no wall directly behind the bed (rm 201). The waterfall is amazing and as the place redevelops it will only get better. We were disappointed that a few things were not open and if you are going to advertise the canyon trail and belvedere at least have a sign saying that the lookout is shut. As a non French speaking tourist we were also surprised at the lack of information available in other languages especially as it wants tourists to visit

my second time and still was astonished but the nature wonders..site history..to find out that at the time this village was more developed than big cities..an people were filling blessed to live and work there

Very impressed with the immersive multimedia. The waterfalls are amazing and the view is astonishing. Bring your food and eat on site.

It was wonderful to feel myself literally go back in time with my visit at the Val-Jalbert Village ! I was a bit cautious of the nun on the church premises because of my colored hair😂 but she didn’t even gave me a second glance ! As I learned about the history of this church, I was so surprised and glad to know that It was a very progressive one indeed ! (With parents treating their children’s with respect and love). For the rest of the giant village; I was blown away by the scenery and the fact that it was so technologically advanced. With running water, Electricity, functional plumbing and toilets … all thanks to that gigantic waterfall right next to the mill that used the current to produce said electricity and paper paste ! A wonderful visit and experience, and one I will gladly do again !

Visited this place with my elderly parents since it was one of the very few things we can do in the area (low mobility). Didn't have big expectations, but I was pleasantly surprised. It's a cute little set up, but it's the surprising waterfall view that made it special. There were two viewpoints, one easily accessible by my elderly parents and the other about 700 steps (up and down stairs) which I did with my sister and boyfriend. This second viewpoint was worth it.

This village is a must see when in the Lac Saint-Jean area. A very quaint town that was rich in resource back in the day. Everything is pretty much untouched with plenty to see and experience. The waterfall at the far end is beautiful and actually powers a mini hydro station. Very well kept property and friendly people within. I highly recommend a visit here as it shows how simply people lived over a hundred years ago. If you see a nun, ask her why people stayed there and what did they do to pass time, then step back.

Beautiful historical village. I liked the authenticity of the village. When visiting the houses it gives you an idea of how they were builed and the way of living in the 1920's. And I enjoyed the ambiance of the people who dress like in the 20's to make it all a real experience 💫

It's really worth to go. I'm single traveler and still enjoyed this place. Getting the history is very interesting. Explanations are in English as well. You can also hike up to the top of the waterfall or take the cable car.
