Chateau de Maisons visitor information
The Chateau de Maisons-Laffitte is one of the listed National Monuments of France.
The château that inspired Vaux-le-Vicomte and Versailles. The Château de Maisons was built in the 17th century on a hill overlooking a bend in the Seine. It is the work of the king's architect François Mansart who was then at the very pinnacle of his glorious career. The majesty, symmetry and harmonious forms of this splendid château make it one the architectural masterpieces of its age. The Château de Maisons stands on the edge of Saint-Germain forest and was used as the king's residence after he had been hunting.
