An immense, 19th-century family dwelling with a small garden, facing the Chateau of Compiègne. Located between the chateau’s square and grounds, this stately dwelling meshes perfectly with the surrounding architectural landscape, while rows of lime trees create a verdant environment that one can admire from all of its windows. Built out of regularly dressed ashlar stone and topped with a slate and zinc Mansard roof, completely redone in 2005, it features a classical French style with understated exterior décor – lateral pilasters, moulded window/door surrounds, keystones above the front door and stringcourses on each of its floors – echoing the chateau’s imperial architecture, whereas its only whimsical elements are the windows’ ornate wrought-iron guardrails with their stylised scroll and floral motifs. As for the commissioner of this immense dwelling, he was apparently trying to establish a geographical parallel with Emperor Napoleon III, who often came to stay at the Chateau of Compiègne during the autumn months. At that time, the imperial couple received their court and family here over a one to two-month period, which became known as “the Compiègne series” since, each week, new guests arrived to replace their predecessors.
