In Boissy-Saint-Léger, the château de Grosbois shows its U-shaped outline around an honour courtyard, surrounded by moats crossed by three footbridges. Built at the end of the 16th century, it still holds on its first floor decors layered over successive owners: early 17th-century wall paintings, a Régence-style drawing room and the additions made by Marshal Berthier in the 19th century, including the Gallery of Battles. Long known as a hunting estate, the grounds also include a hunting tower and an obelisk.
