维莱特城堡酒店坐落于巴黎附近的一座郁郁葱葱的林地，根据François Mansart的规划，从开始到完工（1663年-1669年），这里一直是艺术和美的绿洲。拥有过这家酒店的**人有孔多塞的妻子Sophie de Grouchy。作为他们那个时代的整治行动者先锋，她和丈夫在革命前为一群享誉国际的精英——包括托马斯•杰斐逊，本杰明•富兰克林和托马斯•潘恩举办过一些在智力上非常有影响力的沙龙。Marquis de Lafayette亲眼见证了他们于1786年在维莱特城堡酒店举行的婚礼。

新的主人委托Jacques Garcia修复这栋房子和花园以恢复它们从前田园风光般的灿烂。如今呈现在这里的是一座名副其实的法国工艺博物馆，室内布景用的是非常漂亮的丝绸和珠饰，以及18世纪的油画、装饰艺术和家具。城堡里有历史意义的餐厅的石头装饰、优雅的窗间壁和细木护壁板已经恢复往日的光辉。维莱特城堡朴素而优雅的正面为一间八角形的大客厅提供了空间。在诺特启发下建造的精心布置的花园的壮观景色、如瀑布般下落的喷泉和倒影池，还有18世纪的雕塑、狮身人面像和方尖塔，这些都能看出经典的艺术传统和18世纪的审美，也使这座沙龙黯然失色。全新的照片和建筑历史学家Bernd Dams和Andrew Zega的绘画共同阐述了这本豪华之作。

The Château de Villette was built in Condécourt outside of Paris at the end of the seventeenth century according to the plans of Louis XIV’s architect Jules Hardouin-Mansart and surrounded by luscious formal gardens designed by Le Nôtre. Its magnificent artistic and artisanal heritage has been carefully preserved and restored by the current owners and enhanced by Jacques Garcia’s recent renovation.

With its magnificent hexagonal hall, Châteaude Villette boasts the first formal dining room conceived for a French château, complete with carved stone buffets and corner fountains. Other rooms have been enhanced with fabulous silks rewoven in Lyon, and furnished with a world-class collection of seventeenth- and eighteenth-century furniture and paintings. The gardens, with their shaded bosquets, sculptures, obelisks, and cascading water features have been restored according to their original designs. The privately-owned château was classified as a historical monument in 1942, and has been the scene of numerous films, including The Da Vinci Code .
