Castles to visit Seine-Et-Marne

Built at the end of the th century by Count Robert I of Dreux, fifth brother of King Louis VII, true fortress with integrated dungeon, characteristic of medieval architecture of the th century, he is the only one in Ile-de-France to present a square plan flanked by six round towers and two square towers surrounded by moat. He is the object of excavations, regularly delivers his treasures and nourishes an evolutionary exhibition over the discoveries.

At the end of a vast rehabilitation and development project, the English park offers a superb space of nearly 20 ha of walking with a wide variety of species (giant redwood, Atlas blue cedar) and 300 m of French perspective. The artist Xavier Veilhan, the architects Bona and Lemercier and the scenographer Alexis Bertrand have realized an exceptional and exciting project. The development of clearings now makes it possible to host various events on the art of gardens, as well as the trophy room and the Turkish baths, which become exhibition rooms. The castle museum is the highlight of this work! With its facades covered with ice and metalized panels, it enhances the park and fascinates visitors, especially on sunny days when it contrasts remarkably with the green spaces, bodies of water and the blue sky around it. Inside, the exhibitions on offer are often very original. An access to its panoramic roof allows you to have a nice view of part of the park.
