Château de Bagatelle, Neoclassical palace in Bois de Boulogne, Paris, France
The Château de Bagatelle displays white stone facades with ornate decorative elements across its compact yet refined structure within a 59-acre garden complex.
Marie Antoinette wagered her brother-in-law that he could not complete construction of the château within 63 days in 1777, a challenge he successfully met.
The château contains period furniture crafted by Georges Jacob and hosts an annual international rose competition in its gardens since the early 20th century.
Visitors can access the château and its gardens through the Bois de Boulogne, with extended opening hours during summer months and seasonal flower displays.
The Latin inscription 'Parva sed Apta' on the entrance facade translates to 'Small but suitable', reflecting the building's modest yet refined character.
