Book the Domaine de Madame Elisabeth, a 7ha park for your country events

The refuge of the king's sister

Designed between 1772 and 1782 by Alexandre de La Brière, the king's architect, the park of Madame Elisabeth's estate was one of the most beautiful English gardens of its time.

In 1783, King Louis XVI bought a property belonging to the Prince of Guéméné, who was in the grip of a resounding bankruptcy, to offer it to his sister, Madame Elisabeth. This "country house" was located in the village of Montreuil, then independent from Versailles. The princess had just turned 19.

During the six years before she came of age - then 25 - she was only allowed to stay there during the day. Surrounded by a small court of friends, Madame Elisabeth spent happy days here, between prayer, reading, embroidery, gardening and horseback riding. An important part of her time was spent in helping the poor of the neighborhood.

On October 6, 1789, under the pressure of the crowd, the royal family was brought back to Paris. Refusing to emigrate, Madame Elisabeth shared the fate of her royal family until the end; she died on the scaffold on May 10th 1794.

A domain to charm your guests

Remarkable in more ways than one, the Domaine de Madame Elisabeth covers more than 7 hectares. The park bears witness to the beauty of princely gardens in the Age of Enlightenment. Several elements inherited from the plans of La Brière evoke this period: the Orangery, the avenue of lime trees overlooking the Avenue de Paris, the grotto, the large perspectives framed by groves.

The house, deeply transformed in the XIX century, has kept three salons corresponding to the original heart of the house. The furniture of Madame Elisabeth is for the most part preserved at château in Versailles.

Today the Domaine, purchased in 1983 by the Department of Yvelines, is a public family park open all year round. It is also the ideal place to organize events in complete privacy in a bucolic setting only 30 minutes from the heart of Paris.

The gardens are nice to walk around in and it's a welcome bit of quiet compared to the rest of Versailles

Huge potential, very very poorly managed. They have at least 4 entry gates, all shoukd be open 11to6pm. Two of them are always closed, a slap in the face for people not entering from Avenue de Paris

The Domaine de Madame Élisabeth, or estate of Madame Élisabeth, is a haven of tranquility just down the road from that famed palace. It is certainly well worth a visit. The English-style garden is now a beautiful park, open to the public. It features art, poetry, a green tunnel following an old river bed, and houses the vegetable gardens for the restaurants of Parisian Hotel Georges V. The park maintenance is done as organically as possible. Bees play an important role in that, which also means the estate produces honey. The former home of Madame Élisabeth now serves as a conference center. And for any event, the orangerie is a good place, where they serve delicious finger food and Parisian sparkling wine, from grapes grown in the Yvelines département.

The park and house are very lovely & complete a day of visits in Versailles. I highly recommend this place. You can easily imagine the lives of ladies back in Louis XVI & Marie-Antoinette's days! The domain is located on the avenue in front of the Palace; you can walk there (about 10/15 min) or take the 171 bus in front of the Palace and it's the 3 bus stop (about 3/5 min). One piece of advice: visit the website in order to know the opening days .
