Le château de Neuilly côté de la Cour d’Honneur, 1842
The House of Orléans loved this château. They used it as their summer residence – with its long, low buildings, it provided a discretion suitable to this bourgeoise monarchy. The parc, mostly wooded, was surrounded by a high fortified wall which kept out prying eyes. It was the birthplace of three of Louis-Philippe’s children – Clémentine, François and Antoine.
