The Hermitage estate, established in La Queue-en-Brie in the 17th century, initially belonged to the Gentien family before passing to Marc Miron, first physician to the king, who rebuilt its structures between 1573 and 1604. Arranged around a vast quadrangle flanked by four pavilions and surrounded by water-filled ditches, the domain housed both a castle and farm. Successive owners modified the site: granaries were reconstructed in the 18th century, while most original buildings disappeared during the 19th century. Two corner pavilions from the original castle and the 18th-century farm buildings remain today, along with a 19th-century manor house designed by architect Meunier.
