The Château de Saint-Jean de Beauregard and its Remarkable Garden

We're off to the 91 to discover the Château de saint-Jean de Beauregard, which is open to visitors on Sunday afternoons and public holidays, in addition to well-known events such as the egg hunt and the Fête des Plantes.

The château, ideally preserved and still inhabited today, is a classic 17th-century residence. Guided tours take visitors inside the château. Inhabited year-round, it is fully furnished and contains numerous portraits and family mementos. You'll discover a summer salon, a library, the dining room with its superbly preserved décor, as well as the outbuildings, chapel, outbuildings, stables, kitchen garden, orangery, moat, ice house and a magnificent dovecote containing no less than 4,500 boulins. At 12 metres high, it is one of the largest dovecotes in the Ile-de-France region.

The highlight of a visit to the Domaine de Saint-Jean de Beauregard is the gardens, and in particular the kitchen garden, which boasts botanical marvels. The two-hectare fully enclosed kitchen garden is representative of French-style flower gardens, classified as a historic monument in 1993 and awarded the "remarkable garden" label in 2005.

It boasts an attractive mix of tulips, irises, peonies and dahlias. Stroll along the avenues of fruit trees, strawberry plants and other vegetables, discover the table grape greenhouses and, at the far end, a superb orchard.
