Built on a loop of the Marne by architect Pierre Bullet and his son Jean-Baptiste Bullet de Chamblain, the Château de Champs-sur-Marne is the archetype of the pleasure house that was so popular in the early 18th century. Its compact plan, innovative interior layout, and charming rococo decor are its most remarkable elements. A century later, wealthy financier Louis Cahen d'Anvers restored its splendor in the style of the Age of Enlightenment, adorning it with exceptional furniture. In 2013, after six years of work, the castle's spaces, such as the Chinese salon and the music room, were reopened to the public, restored as they were conceived at the beginning of the 20th century.
