Domain of Montreuil

The Domain of Montreuil, also known as Domaine de Madame Élisabeth, is a historic estate in the heart of Versailles, covering 7.2 hectares. Originally established in the 12th century, it became a royal property in the 18th century when Louis XVI purchased it for his sister, Madame Élisabeth. The estate features a Neoclassical main building, beautifully landscaped gardens in the Anglo-Chinese style, and a notable orangery. Visitors can explore the remnants of Madame Élisabeth's life, including her contributions to local welfare and the estate's transformation by renowned architects. Today, the domain serves as a cultural venue, hosting temporary exhibitions and offering a glimpse into the opulent lifestyle of the French aristocracy.
