Château du Haut-Buisson, 19th century pleasure residence in Cherré-Au, France

The limestone mansion features classical architecture with a central building flanked by two wings and ornate windows across three floors.

Built in 1847 by Marquis de Jumilhac, the château later became home to Alice Heine, who married Prince Albert I of Monaco.

The château contained a greenhouse where Princess Alice cultivated orchids and received notable visitors including writer Pierre Loti.

The municipality acquired the property in 2009 and initiated restoration work, with exterior renovations completed through a 1.2 million euro project.

After Princess Alice's death in 1925, the château was donated to the Sorbonne University for botanical research purposes.
