As part of the Journées du Patrimoine 2023, the Conseil général des Hauts-de-Seine invites you to discover the museum and gardens of the Domaine départemental de Sceaux . For an entire weekend, on September 16 and 17, 2023, the estate will be opening its doors to the public free of charge, allowing us to discover the treasures hidden in this historic monument.
Between the museum, home to true masterpieces, and the Parc de Sceaux designed in the 17th century by Le Nôtre, you'll have plenty of great experiences. These gardens are jewels of French garden design. Two main axes run through it, from east to west: the allée d'honneur, the parterre du château and the terrasse des Pintades, and from north to south: the cascade and the Bassin de l'Octogone.
While the park has preserved structures dating back to the 17th century, such as the Grand Canal, the Pavillon de l'Aurore and the Bassin de l'Octogone, Colbert's château, demolished around 1803, was replaced by a neo-Louis XIII château, built between 1856 and 1862 by architect Le Soufaché. Parterres de broderies (embroidered flowerbeds) with wild, landscaped or even forested atmospheres.
Visit the Pavillon de l'Aurore, a masterpiece of 17th-century architecture. This garden pavilion was originally built at the center of a kitchen garden on the estate acquired by Colbert. It features a cupola painted by Charles Le Brun, which you can see during this Heritage Weekend.
