Chateau De Villette : The Restoration Of A French Masterpiece
Hardback Edition: 1
The Chteau de Villette was built in Condcourt outside of Paris at the end of the 17th century according to the plans of Louis XIV's architect Jules Hardouin-Mansart and surrounded by luscious formal gardens designed by Le Ntre. Its magnificent artistic and artisanal heritage has been carefully preserved and restored by the current owners and enhanced by Jacques Garcia's recent renovation. With its magnificent hexagonal hall, Chteau de Villette boasts the first formal dining room conceived for a French chteau, complete with carved stone buffets and corner fountains. Other rooms have been enhanced with fabulous silks rewoven in Lyon, and furnished with a world-class collection of 17th and 18th century furniture and paintings. The gardens, with their shaded bosquets, sculptures, obelisks, and cascading water features have been restored according to their original designs.
