Pavillon de la Muette, Royal hunting pavilion in Saint-Germain-en-Laye Forest, France.
The octagonal pavilion stands in a clearing within the 3,500-hectare Saint-Germain-en-Laye forest, featuring symmetrical facades and large windows on each side.
Architect Ange-Jacques Gabriel constructed this pavilion in 1767 under Louis XV's commission, incorporating architectural elements similar to the Petit Trianon.
Napoleon I and Napoleon III utilized the pavilion for diplomatic relations through grand hunting events in the surrounding forest of Saint-Germain-en-Laye.
The pavilion opens for guided tours during summer weekends, with advance reservations required for groups of minimum participants at 11:00 or 15:00.
Two private patrons initiated an extensive restoration in 2019, addressing structural issues and preserving original features like wooden panels and marble floors.
