Comment

The Château de Rambouillet owes its fame to the rich, game-filled forest in the heart of which it was built. A former medieval fortress, it was gradually transformed into a pleasure residence and decorated with elegant decorations by its illustrious owners: the d'Angennes family, the Toulouse-Penthieves, Louis XVI, Napoleon I and our current Presidents of the Republic.

The Domaine de Rambouillet is also home to two exceptional monuments: Queen Marie-Antoinette's Dairy and the Chaumière aux coquillages. These two buildings were built in the 18th century in the heart of 150 hectares of historic gardens, classified as Jardins Remarquables.
