The château de Petit-Bourg no longer stands, yet its memory lingers along the banks of the Seine at Évry-Courcouronnes, on the former royal road between Paris and Fontainebleau. Built in the early seventeenth century and altered several times afterward, it once welcomed the marquise de Montespan and boasted gardens linked to the Mansart family and possibly to Le Nôtre. What remains today is limited to a few outbuildings and the outline of the former park, which once stretched down to the river.
