François-René de Chateaubriand bought this magnificent mansion, strangely named la Vallée-aux-Loups, in 1807. He was very attached to his "dear valley", his park, his vegetation, which he took great care of: " I was going, with hooves, planting my trees in the mud, seeing and reviewing all the small corners, hiding me wherever there was a thicket. " In the house, one crosses famous ghosts, from the beautiful Madame Récamier to the painters David, Girodet-Trioson, the famous rest bed of the Jacob-Desmalter immortalized by David's painting, or that of the scandalous madame de Staël before her forced exile in Switzerland… See absolutely: the charming Velléda tower, a small pavilion nestled in the park, which served as a work and library office in Chateaubriand. He écopa the nickname Velléda in memory of one of the martyrs'heroines, an epic novel that the writer wrote to the Vallée-aux-Loups.

The toddlers will be enchanted by the "fine stories of Sunday afternoon": At 16 a. m., a speaker tells a story or tale, in the park, the library or the video room. A mystery of a th century tale, daydreams by a young Chateaubriand, programming changes regularly (free activity).

At the beginning of the Second Empire, Théophile Gautier (1811-1872) settled in the home of his father, the former controller of contributions. The man of letters, including Captain Smashes, lives there with his daughter Judith, the fruit of his love with the Italian singer Ernesta Grisi. This small house is today the chaplaincy of the young people of Montrouge Church. She receives Catholic university students from the city.
