Things to see and do The Plessis-Robinson

Located in a wood, this madness was built by a rich chocolate maker at the end of the 19th century. When he died, his daughter, a Carmelite, temporarily founded a convent there. During the First World War, it hosted a clandestine ball. Raymond Radiguet (1903-1923) described the castle of his novel "Le Bal du comte d'Orgel" on the basis of this location. This neo-Gothic residence was destroyed by fires in 1977 and 1978. In 1984, a demolition permit was even granted, fortunately, it was never implemented, allowing the municipality to keep this mysterious and historically charged area. Today, the place is a pleasant - and sometimes romantic - place for Sunday walks. The mind filled with the tumultuous stories of this place, to you a moment a little out of time!

The Cité Basse is one of the garden cities built in the Parisian region after the First World War. From the 1926-1930 s, the architect Payret-Dortail and his students built housing to respond to the influx of new populations accompanying the economic expansion of this commune near Paris. These social housing units have specific objectives: to install maximum material comfort, to avoid dormitory cities at all costs, to involve the social classes as much as possible and, above all, to ban the uniformity of buildings in order to give room for individual personalization. Finally, the presence of greenery, rare for the time!
