DENAINVILLIERS CASTLE
The visit of this castle allows to see remarkable sundials.
Château de Denainvilliers is a listed historic monument built in the 17th century by Claude Duhamel. His great-grandson, Henri-Louis Duhamel du Monceau (1700-1782), a philanthropist and humanist, divided his time between his estate and the capital, where he attended botany classes at the Jardin des Plantes, leading him to transform the château grounds into a field for experimentation. The current owners have created a museum dedicated to Henri-Louis Duhamel. Pure Louis XIII style, the exterior architecture is remarkably well preserved. A rare curiosity!
