Château des Roches stands in Bièvres (Essonne), in the Île-de-France region of France. Adult admission costs 6 EUR. Its opening hours and prices were verified at the source on September 21, 2026.

The château des Roches stands in the hamlet of Vauboyen, in Bièvres, on the banks of the Bièvre river. Built during the 18th and 19th centuries, it owes its reputation to the literary salon held there by Louis-François Bertin, frequented by Victor Hugo, Berlioz, Liszt and Ingres. The building now houses the Maison littéraire de Victor Hugo, a private museum set within the château's romantic-style rooms, surrounded by a landscaped park with two artificial lakes and garden follies.
