Élysette, Official residence in Jambes, Belgium

Élysette occupies the eclectic-style Château Thibault, built in 1875 for master tanner Xavier Thibault, on the right bank of the Meuse in Jambes. The multi-storey building has a grey stone lower level with tall windows and a central glass entrance, red brick above with a balcony over the entrance, and a steep dark roof with dormers and chimneys. Inside are the Minister-President's offices, the Council of Ministers' room, kitchens, two staff bedrooms and a flat with bedroom, dining room, bathroom and living room.

The château Thibault was built in 1875 for master-tanner Xavier Thibault, according to the French Wikipedia; the English version gives 1877. Around 1990 the Walloon Region bought it from the city of Namur and had it restored and refitted by architect Francis Haulot. It became the seat of the Minister-President of Wallonia, nicknamed the Élysette under Guy Spitaels (1992–1994).

The nickname Élysette dates from 1992–1994, when Minister-President Guy Spitaels had good relations with the Élysée. The interior is decorated with paintings by Pierre Paulus, and in the gardens on the Meuse side stands Jean-Michel Folon's statue "Quelqu'un".

The best view of the building comes from the opposite bank of the Meuse River. Visitors should know that this is an active government seat and not open for tours.

The nickname "Élysette" (Little Élysée) dates from 1992–1994, when Minister-President Guy Spitaels had good relations with the Élysée, the French presidential palace. In the garden on the Meuse side stands a statue by Jean-Michel Folon titled "Quelqu'un".
