Château de Chaville, Classical château in Chaville, France.
Located in the western suburbs of Paris, this château incorporates symmetrical design elements and carefully proportioned classical architectural features.
Five different castles were built successively on this site, with Michel Le Tellier, father of Louvois, employing architect Charles Chamois and gardener André Le Nôtre.
The château received recognition in the general inventory of cultural heritage, reflecting the architectural traditions of French nobility during the classical period.
Archaeological remains of the château foundations can be explored in the forest area, where 17th-century pathways and several ponds still exist.
A 1697 manuscript called 'Traité des Eaux de Chaville' details the hydraulic network of the château, preserved in the Méjanes Library of Aix-en-Provence.
