I visited in the summer and really enjoyed the audio tour, which gave a great history lesson about the castle and also France. I stayed for the fireworks, and it was worth it. The chateau grounds itself is very big. I recommend taking a picnic blanket and a picnic, so you can stop & rest during the walk around the gardens. It is beautiful.
I took the train + shuttle to the chateau and then took the bus that went directly from the chateau to one of the Gares in Paris. Because it was so late at night, it might have been the only public transportation option — and as it was convenient, I recommend that option. Exchanging the shuttle bus ticket with them was not a problem at all.
