Château de Grand'Maisons

To make a day of it

Château de Grand'maisons stands in Villepreux (Yvelines), in the Île-de-France region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: first quarter of the 18th century, second quarter of the 19th century). Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

In Villepreux, a few kilometres from Versailles, the château de Grand'Maisons bears the marks of a construction begun in the early 18th century by the Francini family and completed over a century later by the Bertin de Veaux family. Its salons welcomed, during the 19th century, figures of the Romantic era such as Chateaubriand and Berlioz. The site is defined above all by this long family history rather than by a striking architecture.
