Description

Discover, 35 km south of Paris, this luminous 17th century residence facing a superb Romantic Park redesigned in the 19th century. Classified as a "Remarkable Garden", a true ode to nature, the Domaine de Courson is the result of the work of great landscape architects such as Berthault and the Bühler brothers.

Its 40 hectares**, criss-crossed by long paths winding around a pond, are home to a wealth of vegetation. The blooming of camellias, magnolias, lilacs and azaleas in spring, hydrangeas and rosebushes in summer, or the flamboyant colours of beech, oak and maple trees in autumn, will amaze you!

The château, classified as a Historic Monument, perpetuates a certain French tradition of splendid and refined aristocratic estates, while asserting its personality as a grand residence in "transparent" brick and stone. A perfection of architecture and landscaping combined!

Rediscover also the grounds of the Domaine de Dampierre-en-Yvelines.
