Facing Grande-Rue is the main entrance, preceded by a courtyard, closed by a high wrought iron grid. The building was built around 1753 according to the plans made by Lindet and Perronet on the location of the Ferme farm. In the Court of Honour, the flag of "Lully" is the only remnant of La Guyarde farm; Jean-Baptiste Lully, composer and chamber music superintendent of Louis XIV, would have lived there. In the east of the courtyard, the king's apartments occupied the angle of the building. In the same building is the Guard Hall, it opens on the entrance entrance, the large paved courtyard closed by the King's grid which gave on the road to Bellevue. A monumental fountain of stone orne that one. The Higher Standard School created to train female teachers: «Les Sévriennes», settled in the renovated buildings of the old factory in 1881. Marie Curie provided a physics course from 1900 to 1906. Today, and since 1945, the old factory houses the International Centre for Educational Studies, the main partner of the Ministry of Foreign and European Affairs for the French language.

Le lieu se visite partiellement car il est occupé par le CIEP. La visite permet de comprendre les occupations successives depuis la manufacture jusqu'aux activités éducatives d'hier (pour la formation des jeunes filles) à aujourd'hui (avec le CIEP). La cour à l'arrière et sa fontaine ont beaucoup de charme comme le jardin qui les surplombent en mêlant influence française et japonaise.
