Sommaire

Yvelines, in the greater Paris region, abounds in former royal residences, noble palaces and historic homes, nestled in the national forest of Rambouillet, which was formerly the hunting-grounds of the kings of France. This is a natural heritage site with rare flora and fauna, which charms the family-owners of chateaux with the lustre of authenticity.

A Napoleonic Chateau in Les Bréviaires

This chateau, built during the reign of Napoleon III and finished with a pink brick facade is a fine example. Situated 35 km from Paris, the castle looks at its own reflection in its private pond, in the village of Les Bréviaires, known for its Olympian calm. Surrounded with 30 hectares of lands, the edifice of 1 100 m², comes with a French-style garden, a two separate buildings, one to welcome guests and another dedicated to groundskeeping.
