Château de Petit-Bourg, Classical mansion in Évry, France.

The mansion stands on the left bank of the Seine River, featuring symmetrical architecture with defined terraces and deep moats surrounding the structure.

Constructed in the early 17th century, the mansion underwent three major reconstructions, with Pierre Cailleteau designing the final version between 1716 and 1722.

The mansion received numerous distinguished guests including Louis XIV, Tsar Peter the Great, and composer Gioachino Rossini during different ownership periods.

The original site of the mansion now serves as a parking area for the Petit-Bourg residence complex in Évry-Courcouronnes.

The construction of the Paris-Corbeil railway line in 1840 split the mansion's park in two, leading to its sale by banker Alexandre Aguado.

Location: Évry-Courcouronnes
