Château de Brimborion stands in Sèvres (Hauts-de-Seine), in the Île-de-France region of France. Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

The château de Brimborion no longer stands: this pavilion built around 1750 on the banks of the Seine at Sèvres was torn down in 1954 after serving as a municipal museum. What remains today, open to visitors, is the surrounding park, listed as a protected site since 1934, with its eighteenth-century rockwork, a remarkably preserved ice house and a bridge-shaped gate. The place recalls the affair between Louis XV and Madame de Pompadour, who owned the pavilion from 1750, and later the English-style gardens laid out by the king's daughters. The hillside offers wide views over the Seine valley, reaching as far as the Eiffel Tower and Montmartre on a clear day.

What to know

The château itself disappeared in 1954; only the 4.5-hectare park can be visited.
The park has been a listed protected site since 1934, set on a hillside above the Seine.
It contains an eighteenth-century ice house, rockwork features and a bridge-shaped gate, remnants of the original layout.
The grounds slope along the hillside, so a visit involves walking on uneven terrain.
The park connects to several walking routes toward the riverbank, including toward the rue Troyon.
