Château de Bagatelle

Château de Bagatelle stands in 16e arrondissement de Paris (Paris), in the Île-de-France region of France. The building is listed as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: third quarter of the 18th century). Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

Set within the Bois de Boulogne, the Château de Bagatelle is an elegant eighteenth-century pleasure pavilion built for the Count of Artois, its history steeped in courtly intrigue and architectural bravado. According to tradition, the building was erected at astonishing speed to win a wager with Marie-Antoinette. Visitors come today for its neoclassical façades and for the surrounding park, among the most carefully tended in Paris.
