At Saint-Rémy-lès-Chevreuse, the château de Vaugien stands at the edge of the plateau overlooking the Chevreuse valley. Rebuilt from 1829 for Count Amable de Thellusson de Sorcy, the building draws on the model of Italian villas, with its terraced roof and a two-storey hall lit from above. The reception rooms on the ground floor, along with early 20th-century kitchens preserved intact with their oven and cooking range, reflect the lifestyle of the de Wendel family, who owned the estate from 1897.
