Château de Villette is one of the most remarkable châteaux in France, classified as a historical landmark since 1942 by the French government. Set in a 75ha woodland park, with two lakes, a magnificent cascade fountain, a glass house and orangery, not to mention the incredibly lavish interiors, Chateau de Villette epitomises elegance, luxury and the famous French expression “art de vivre”. It was originally designed by architect François Mansart for the Count of Aufflay and later completed by his great-nephew, Jules Hardouin-Mansart, chief-architect of Louis XV, who also oversaw the construction of Château de Versailles at the same time. Similarly, the splendid garden of Château de Villette was designed by André Le Nôtre, who also created the famous gardens of Château de Versailles. So having earned the name Le Petit Versailles (the Little Versailles) is really no coincidence.
Located only 40 minutes away from the centre of Paris, Chateau de Villette counts 7 suites, each of which is truly a work of art, designed by he renowned interior decorator Jacques Garcia.
Dreamy and refined, Château de Villette is a perfect choice for any event: from a destination wedding to an intimate elopement. What can be more extraordinary than an outdoor ceremony in a classic French parterre garden or inside an original 18th century Chapel.
