Château de Fontenay-sous-Bois

En un regard

Le château en bref

Château de Fontenay-sous-Bois (Val-de-Marne) is today the Maison du citoyen, the result of multiple transformations, during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, of a large private residence with a hillside park featuring avenues, ornamental pools and kitchen gardens. It housed Belle-Vue, a girls' boarding school, and then, from 1973 to 1987, Chilean families taken in by the priests of the Mission de France. The two main wings and their annexes have been refurbished several times; the site now hosts associations and serves as a meeting place.
