DOLCE VERSAILLES - DOMAINE DU MONTCEL
The estate once housed a seigniorial hotel on a 12-hectare estate, which became a boarding school and then the Cartier Foundation.
The Montcel estate was owned by the monks of the Saint-Germain-des-Prés abbey as early as the 9th century. In the 16th century, it housed a manor house and outbuildings on a 12-hectare estate. The estate was bought by Oberkampf, who enlarged it for his wife in 1805, giving it the appearance of a château. In 1923, the estate became a bourgeois boarding school until 1980 - when the Cartier Foundation moved in. Two monumental sculptures remain from this period: Hommage à Eiffel by artist César and Long-Term Parking by Arman.
