At the edge of Val-de-Marne, Monsieur’s Farm preserves the proud look of the great Briard estates of the 18th century, with its cobbled courtyard surrounded by high walls and its monumental dovecote. It’s here, in Mandres-les-Roses, that the Count of Provence — the future Louis XVIII — would escape to pastoral retreats away from court intrigue. Easily reachable by bike from the La Végétale greenway, the site offers a peaceful, freely accessible heritage stop, even if its historic barns only open their doors to the rhythm of municipal and community exhibitions.
For the 2026 Heritage Days, set off to explore Monsieur's Farm in Mandres-les-Roses. Dive into the history of this Val-de-Marne agricultural estate linked to the brother of Louis XVI.
