It is the subject of a registration as a historic monument since May 6, 1988 and from 23 December 1992. This is to support the restoration of the gardens and the conservation of the site that tourism has emerged. Today the area is home to a 5-star Castel camping, lodges, golf course, restaurant, function rooms, rental of offices, and the park is open to visitors.
