CHATEAU WITH SUMPTUOUS RENAISSANCE AND 18TH-CENTURY ARCHITECTURE 60 KM FROM PARIS - One of the most beautiful gardens in Île-de-France - Superb decorative interiors - Gallery - 26 hectares free of lease - Fully listed Historic Monument - Vexin, Val d'Oise, Île-de-France. 60 km from Paris, in a beautiful preserved valley of the lush Vexin region, this Renaissance chateau built around 1540 and enlarged around 1710 and 1780 is nestled within an enchanting setting of Italian-style gardens, among the most beautiful in the surroundings of Paris. On the honor courtyard, the 1540 Renaissance façade is adorned with a rich décor of pilasters, capitals, and foliage scroll friezes, making it one of the finest examples of Renaissance architecture in private hands. A grand staircase leads to the large entrance hall of the chateau. On the right, the medieval keep with its two watchtowers has been preserved and also embellished with Renaissance decoration. To the west, the extraordinary gardens inspired by the Villa Gamberaia in Tuscany, among the most beautiful in France, unfold across three Renaissance terraces through a play of perspectives featuring boxwood parterres, yew topiaries, lime-tree avenues, and flowing water features. The secret garden with its statue of Neptune and its four squares of black and white tulips. The greenhouse garden with its 24 squares of tree peonies, hellebores, and “Black Parrot” tulips. The Moon Garden, wonderfully composed after that of the Gamberaia, is inspired by Andrea Mantegna's early 16th-century painting “Virtues and Vices” preserved at the Louvre. Architecture here is created by nature itself: the portico is formed from yew trees, and the half-moon shape is made of water. A cascade flows through the garden from north to south. The Sun Garden on the upper terrace is composed of a checkerboard pattern, blooming in spring with 40,000 daffodils and yew-shaped chess pieces. To the south, a superb classical façade built around 1710, of outstanding architectural quality, features five ground-floor arcades framing the staircase of the Renaissance gallery opening onto the park. The large pediment is decorated with a Rococo cartouche. The interior combines sumptuous Renaissance volumes with high-quality 18th-century decorative interiors. Inside, this residence bears witness to the splendor of the Renaissance through two salons with vast fireplaces, one featuring a remarkable sculpted ceiling, a large Renaissance gallery, and a Renaissance staircase with straight flights, barrel-vaulted and decorated with moldings and pilasters.
