73 Avenue de Paris, 78000 Versailles, France
From the 12th century, Montreuil was a modest seigneury with a small manor house surrounded by meadows, woods and marshes. This campaign becomes the fashionable promenade of the inhabitants of Versailles. The formation of the domain of Montreuil is the work of the prince and princess of Guéméné. The couple, since 1764, has rented some houses in the area where their estate will be built. The building that will become Madame Élisabeth’s residence is the one that belonged to a deputy governess of the Enfants de France, Louise-Sophie Cook. It is this house that the Guéméné had considerably transformed. The execution of the work is entrusted to the architect Alexandre Louis Etable de La Brière. If La Brière retains some existing buildings and adds new constructions, other plots are entirely landscaped by it, notably the orangery. Adjacent to this work, we then find the farm, the gardener’s house, the factory and the dairy.
