The château de Montry, also known as the domaine des Hautes Maisons, stands in Seine-et-Marne on a site held since the late 15th century by the Vaudetar family. Burned down in 1590 and later rebuilt, the building seen today dates from a 19th-century campaign in a neo-Louis XIII style. The site has a notable military history: Bismarck negotiated there with Jules Favre in 1870, and the French General Headquarters settled there in 1940, where Colonel de Gaulle was promoted to brigadier general.
