Château de Rambouillet stands in Rambouillet (Yvelines), in the Île-de-France region of France. The building is listed as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 14th century, 17th century, 18th century, first half of the 19th century). Adult admission costs 11 EUR. Its opening hours and prices were verified at the source on August 4, 2026.

An hour from Paris, this Yvelines château bears the marks of six centuries of successive building campaigns, from the fortified 14th century manor to the alterations requested by French presidents. Visitors walk through rooms where François I died and where Napoleon had apartments redecorated, in a building that also hosted the first G6 summit in 1975. The estate covers close to 980 hectares of forest, with canals, formal gardens and farm buildings dating from the time of the Count of Toulouse.
