Musée national du château de Malmaison et Bois-Préau

- 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.
