Included with certain tickets.

Head to the château’s outbuildings for an exceptional exhibition in France: The Secrets of Marlinspike Hall.

Learn more about the links between the Château de Cheverny and Marlinspike Hall.

As soon as you enter, you are greeted by Tintin, Snowy, and of course Nestor, the faithful butler.

A visitor booklet is handed to you before you step into the underground passages of Marlinspike Hall, where Tintin is held prisoner in The Secret of the Unicorn.

Break through the wall to escape, then explore the different rooms of Captain Haddock’s residence.

One room is a true exclusive: Tintin’s bedroom at the château, which does not appear in any album!

As the visit unfolds, many familiar faces appear — including Professor Calculus, whose laboratory is filled with inventions.

After attending the premiere of the Technicolor film, travel back in time and follow Sir Francis Haddock as he confronts the infamous pirate Red Rackham!

Then join Tintin in his underwater exploration aboard the shark‑shaped submarine invented by Professor Calculus.

It is thanks to the sale of the submarine’s patent that the Professor enables Captain Haddock to regain ownership of Marlinspike Hall, the château of his ancestors.

It’s your turn to plunge into the adventures of Tintin and his friends!

From room to room, you will also discover more about Hergé’s artistic process.
