For this edition, a narrated, unprecedented and exceptional visit, «Les Bourbon-Condé à Boissy» will allow visitors to discover this authentic estate in the light of the great history of France.
Located in the Montmorency valley, the Domaine de Boissy was owned by the Bourbon-Condé, a powerful family from the Grand Condé, owner of the Château de Chantilly.
Many anecdotes will make live again Louise-Françoise of Bourbon, Duchess of Bourbon, legitimated daughter of Louis XIV and Mme de Montespan, the family of Montmorency, Louis V of Bourbon-Condé, husband of a Princess of Monaco.
Boissy was the princely residence of his Royal Highness Louis VI of Bourbon-Condé, Duke of Bourbon and last Prince of Condé who made it his favorite hunting relay with his terrible mistress, Sophie Dawes, Baroness of Feuchères.
Visitors will appreciate, during this visit in the heart of the History of France, this protected area that still keeps track of the passage of the Bourbon-Condé. Memories of the princely family of the Bourbon Condé will be exhibited on the course of this unprecedented visit. A participation (entrance fee) of € 2 per person is required at the entrance. All of this participation will be donated in full to the association val d'oisienne de Montigny Les Cormeilles «l'Ecole du Chat Libre du Paris» which helps stray cats in the Val d'Oise.
“For the sake of the cats I went to the poorest of them, those who live and reproduce in the streets, in the greatest destitution, without food, homeless, hunted down by all…” , is the story of this great association created by Liliane Krauskopff.
The association aims to trap stray cats and sterilize them. The cats are then offered for adoption or sponsorship.
The association will be present on the Boissy site during these Heritage Days.
It will hold a stand where visitors can purchase items. The association will also present in a salon of the castle an exhibition of paintings made by Isabelle Calvez, artist and volunteer of the association, highlighting the feline gent!
