Stunning gardens

When Charles-Jean-Baptiste du Tillet (1710-1796) inherited the seigneury of Villarceaux, he commissioned the architect Jean-Baptiste Courtonne (1712-1781) to build a grand country house on the heights of the estate. The construction work, entrusted to the builder François Glaçon, began in 1755 and was completed in 1759. The Marquis de Villarceaux also had the gardens laid out as a series of perspectives, a vertugadin (sloping grass surface), a labyrinth, and statues. Maintained and restored by the Ile-de-France Regional Council, the park was awarded the Remarkable Garden label in 2004.
