Description

Located in the heart of the Parc Naturel Régional du Vexin Français, in a green setting of 70 hectares, the Villarceaux estate, nicknamed "the pearl of Vexin", is composed of a unique ensemble of buildings from the 14th to the 19th century classified as Historic Monuments and magnificent gardens.

Gardens labelled "Remarkable garden".

Open to the public from April to October, the medieval, Renaissance, French and English gardens are perfect for strolling and contemplation. The parterre, the boxwood embroidery and the great perspectives mingle with the basins, canals and the large pond fed by numerous springs present on the estate.

Between nature and history

Designed by Jean-Baptiste Courtonne, the so-called upper castle, in a Louis XV style, is a perfect example of the large holiday or reception houses built in the 17th century by the aristocracy or the bourgeoisie. It unveils, through its lounges and dining room, a magnificent collection of paintings and furniture from the 18th century. The Cour d'Honneur opens onto the surprising "Sauts de Loup", which form a landscape unchanged since the 18th century and offers an exceptional panoramic view of the estate and the bucolic landscapes of the Vexin.
