Property designed in the style of the English landscape parks in Yerres, hosts an exhibition and events center.
The Maison Caillebotte, a landmark of Impressionism, and its English-style landscaped park bordered by the Yerres River, were once owned by the famous painter Gustave Caillebotte and his family. Caillebotte painted over 80 canvases here during the summers of 1870. The 11-hectare estate offers a splendid backdrop and superb panoramic views as you explore the ornamental mills, vegetable garden and remarkable trees. The Maison Caillebotte is also a center for the arts, hosting a variety of temporary exhibitions each year.

Message from Management
Located in Yerres, the Maison Caillebotte was owned by the eponymous family between 1860 and 1879. Gustave Caillebotte practiced his art here, producing some 80 paintings. Donations from the "Amis de la Propriété Caillebotte" and the collections of the Mobilier National have enabled the house to be refurbished as it was in the painter's day. A tour of the estate will take you to several ornamental mills representing an outstanding example of the Romantic movement in 19th-century landscape painting. "La Maison", with its Palladian-style colonnade, illustrates the life and passions of the artist's entire family. Take a tour of the family bedroom, with its original furniture, or the painter's studio, now a showroom regularly featuring his original paintings and those of his contemporaries. In the museum rooms, you can follow the history of the estate and the family. The "Exedra" factory, a symbol of time travel evoked by Greco-Roman statuary, and "La Volière", a home to birds prized for their songs, are also well worth a visit. Discover "Le Potager", a 1,700 m² garden featuring the painter's original greenhouse with a sump mechanism. There's also the "Glacière", once used to preserve foodstuffs. To this day, the estate has become one of France's leading Impressionist sites.

Un lieu reposant !
That disappointment not to have been able to share the emotion felt facing 3 works of Sylvain Vigny. The sculpture " princess x" is not apparently visible any more on this site.
Should you see a parallel to the sculpture of Constantin Brancusi a copy which caused a scandal in the Salon des Indépendants of 1920, when it had been " refusé" under conditions similar to the Salon d'antin organised by André Salmon and Paul Poiré? I saw this sculpture during the installation and then it seems to have disappeared from this exhibition
