Château de Courson stands in Courson-Monteloup (Essonne), in the Île-de-France region of France. The building is listed as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 17th century, 18th century, 19th century). Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

In Courson-Monteloup, in the Essonne department, this seventeenth century château stands within an extensive landscape park awarded remarkable garden status. Built over the remains of an earlier manor, it passed through generations of parliamentary families and later a line descended from Napoleonic nobility, each leaving their mark on the buildings and grounds. Visitors come both for the stone and brick architecture of the main residence and for the paths, pond and woodland surrounding it.

What to know

  • The château is a listed historic monument, while the park holds a separate heritage listing.
  • The estate also hosts private and corporate events, which may limit access on certain days.
  • The park can remain open even when the château itself is closed to visitors, as happens on occasion.
  • The site lies roughly thirty kilometres from Paris, in the Essonne department.
