On June 2, 1961, Jackie Kennedy discovered Malmaison on the occasion of the three-day state visit to France that the 35th president of the United States, John Fitzgerald Kennedy, elected for six months, performed at the invitation of General de Gaulle. It is driven by André Malraux, Minister of State, in charge of cultural affairs, in his official vehicle. On the occasion of the Heritage Days, an identical black Citroën DS 19 will be exhibited in the courtyard of the Château de Malmaison. Like André Malraux and Jackie Kennedy, come and photograph yourself in front of this mythical vehicle! Free visit all day. Other vehicles (sports line this time) can also be admired around the castle of Bois-Préau. Event organized in partnership with the French Federation of Vintage Vehicles (FFVE).

À propos du lieu

Musée national du château de Malmaison et Bois-Préau
Avenue du Château-de-Malmaison 92500 Rueil-Malmaison
  • Hauts-de-Seine
  • Île-de-France
Built in the 17th century, the Château de Malmaison was acquired in 1799 by Josephine and Napoleon Bonaparte, who had it completely renovated by the young architects Percier and Fontaine. Much appreciated by the First Consul, the residence became between 1800 and 1802, with the Palais des Tuileries in Paris, one of the places of government of France. Today the castle of Malmaison forms one of the examples of the consular style preserved in France and fascinates by the character of authenticity that it has preserved. The visitor also discovers the more intimate atmosphere of Josephine’s apartments, her collections of paintings, and in the landscaped park the empress’s passion for botany.
