The château de Buzenval stands in the town of Rueil-Malmaison, in the Hauts-de-Seine département. Its name is tied to an episode of the Franco-Prussian War: on 21 October 1870, troops besieged in Paris attempted a breakout toward Versailles, aiming at the hamlets of Malmaison, la Jonchère and Buzenval, then held by Prussian forces. The fighting that day, involving close to 10,000 French soldiers against the Prussian defenders, left a lasting mark on this hillside area above Rueil.
