Country house of Jean-Jacques Huvé, former Grand Prix of Rome and inspector of the Palace of Versailles architect of Louis XVI, this particular residence is arranged around a central rectangle, in the main axis, a circle and an oval, to the right and to the left two large squares with cut sides, the whole confined to four small squares. Elected mayor of Versailles, Jean-Jacques Huvé lived in his Meudonnaise house from 1788 to 1793\. Barthélemy Scherer, general of the Napoleonic army of Italy, then went to buy the property. There he received the Emperor on occasion. The originality of this house earned it to be reproduced in the Collection of civil architecture of Jean-Charles Krafft, in 1812 and classified as a historical monument in 1945.
