Château de Montceaux stands in Montceaux-lès-Meaux (Seine-et-Marne), in the Île-de-France region of France. The building is listed as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 16th century, 17th century). Adult admission costs 5 EUR. Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

In Montceaux-lès-Meaux, this 16th-century site preserves the traces of a château that once belonged in turn to Catherine de Médicis, Gabrielle d'Estrées and Marie de Médicis. There is no standing château to tour, but rather remains: a chapel, former outbuildings converted into a bourgeois house, and a farm building, scattered across a park that recalls the former scale of the estate. The interest here lies chiefly in the history rather than in a striking architecture to look at.
