Château la Boursidière stands in Châtenay-Malabry (Hauts-de-Seine), in the Île-de-France region of France. No visits are on record for this building.

At the edge of the Verrières forest, close to the A86 motorway, a few remaining foundations mark the site of the old Boursidière keep, a stronghold said to date from the 10th or 11th century. There is no château to walk through here, only a fenced archaeological remnant tied to a legend involving Queen Blanche of Castile and a white lady said to guard buried treasure. The interest lies less in architecture than in the long occupation of the place, traced back to the Neolithic era.

Written from Château fort dit la Boursidière ou la Boursillière

What to know

Only the fenced foundations of the keep remain; there is no château building to tour.
The site lies on the boundary between Châtenay-Malabry and Le Plessis-Robinson, right next to the A86 motorway.
The old moats have largely been filled in due to the construction of a nearby retention basin.
There are no opening hours, fees or visitor facilities, as this is an open-air ruin.
A visit amounts to a brief stop during a walk through the Verrières forest.
