The Château that inspired the construction of the châteaux of Vaux-le-Vicomte and Versailles.
Overlooking a loop of the Seine, the Château de Maisons was built in the 17th century by the famous architect François Mansart at the height of his powers: the majesty, symmetry and balance of the forms of this exemplary residence made it one of the masterpieces of its time. Without this castle, Vaux-le-Vicomte and Versailles would not exist. The castle, located in the immediate vicinity of the forest of Saint-Germain, was intended to receive the king. Louis XIV stayed there several times.
Exceptional visit: discover the small flats of the Château de Maisons! On the second floor, normally inaccessible, visit these rooms of daily life where Mansart, Lafayette and Voltaire stayed.
