Castle-museum with four typical towers and rooms to visit, offering exhibitions, musical and theatrical animations
The château is said to have been founded in the mid-12th century by Gauthier I de Villebéon, grand chamberlain to kings Louis VII and Philippe Auguste. One of the few remaining castles in the Île-de-France region, it is a magnificent structure. Restored in the 17th century by Philippe d'Orléans, a man of taste and a collector of paintings, it has changed little, if at all, since then. Since 1903, it has housed a fine arts museum with some 20,000 works: sculptures, paintings, graphic arts and photographs emblematic of the second half of the 19th and early 20th centuries.

Pour ma part, connaissant un peu l'historique, j'ai pu comprendre un peu plus sur la partie construction et observer les modifications faites dans le temps. Sans cela, il est un peu inutile de visiter si l'objectif est de découvrir un château. En revanche, très belle exposition sur les portraits (août 23).
Tout autour du château, il vous est possible de lire des écriteaux détaillant son histoire et quelques faits historiques.
Et si vous souhaitez en savoir plus, sachez que le château est aussi un musée.
