Linderhof is the smallest of the three fairy-tale palaces built by King Ludwig II of Bavaria, and the only one finished in his lifetime \u2014 the retreat where the reclusive \u201cfairy-tale king\u201d actually chose to live. Tucked into a wooded Alpine valley near Ettal and Oberammergau, it was built between 1872 and 1878 as a lavish royal villa in a highly ornate Neo-Rococo style, inspired by Ludwig’s idol Louis XIV of France and by his dreams of a vanished age of absolute monarchy. Small enough to feel like a private world, its gilded rooms open onto elaborate formal gardens and a park scattered with some of the most extraordinary garden buildings in Germany, from an artificial dripstone grotto to an exotic Moorish pavilion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ce qu'il faut voir<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The palace interior, seen on a short guided tour, is a riot of gold, mirrors and carving: the glittering Hall of Mirrors, the royal bedchamber, and the famous dining room with its \u201clittle table, lay yourself\u201d \u2014 a table that could be lowered through the floor and raised again fully laid, so the solitary king need never see a servant. Even more theatrical are the park’s set-pieces. The Venus Grotto is a vast artificial cave built for Ludwig alone, complete with an underground lake, a golden shell boat and coloured electric lighting, inspired by a scene from Wagner’s Tannh\u00e4user and among the technical marvels of its day. Nearby stands the gilded Moorish Kiosk with its peacock throne, bought from the Paris World’s Fair, along with a Moroccan house and rustic huts drawn from Wagner’s operas. Around the palace itself, terraced Baroque gardens step down to fountains \u2014 the great gilded jet before the palace shoots high into the air \u2014 while beyond them stretches a romantic English landscape park.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Comment s'y rendre et informations pratiques<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Linderhof se trouve dans la vall\u00e9e de Graswang, pr\u00e8s d'Ettal, dans les Alpes bavaroises, au sud d'Oberammergau et \u00e0 environ 100 kilom\u00e8tres au sud-ouest de Munich. Il n'y a pas de gare \u00e0 proximit\u00e9 : la plupart des visiteurs s'y rendent en voiture, ou en combinant le train jusqu'\u00e0 Oberammergau (ou Garmisch-Partenkirchen), puis un bus r\u00e9gional jusqu'au ch\u00e2teau ; il est donc conseill\u00e9 de v\u00e9rifier les horaires des bus \u00e0 l'avance. L'entr\u00e9e au parc est gratuite, tandis que la visite du ch\u00e2teau s'effectue dans le cadre d'une visite guid\u00e9e \u00e0 horaire fixe et est payante ; un billet combin\u00e9 permet \u00e9galement d'acc\u00e9der \u00e0 la Grotte de V\u00e9nus. Le ch\u00e2teau est ouvert tous les jours toute l'ann\u00e9e, bien que certains b\u00e2timents du parc, dont la grotte, ferment pendant l'hiver et aient parfois \u00e9t\u00e9 ferm\u00e9s pour des travaux de restauration majeurs. Pr\u00e9voyez environ deux heures pour combiner la visite du ch\u00e2teau avec une promenade dans les jardins, jusqu\u2019\u00e0 la grotte et au kiosque, et notez que les sentiers en mont\u00e9e dans le parc peuvent \u00eatre raides.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
