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.
