The château de Paley stands in the Seine-et-Marne village bearing its name, on a fortified site dating back to the 14th century. Its medieval enclosure and dovecote, protected as historic monuments since 1987, bear witness to a history shaped by destruction during the Hundred Years' War and subsequent rebuilding.

Visitors find a courtyard ringed by buildings from different eras, a listed woodland and gardens still taking shape.
