Royal Château du Vivier

En un regard

Le château en bref

The Royal Château du Vivier-en-Brie, located in the French commune of Fontenay-Trésigny (Seine-et-Marne), about 50 km south-east of Paris, between Meaux and Melun, is a château dating from the 13th and 14th centuries. It was originally built at the behest of Charles de Valois, on the site of a former "hostel". It was later considerably enlarged by King Charles V. Today it is a private estate that hosts events and receptions. The ruins of the château, together with the grounds corresponding to the original extent of the whole complex, including the outbuildings, have been listed as a historic monument since 31 October 1996. The estate lies in a notable setting along the Ru de Bréon, a tributary of the Yerres, itself a tributary of the Seine.
