Château du Parangon, 17th-century castle in Joinville-le-Pont, France.
The castle features prominently displayed stonework on its main facade, with detailed balconies and a formal entrance portal on rue de Paris.
Built in the second half of the 17th century by the Amelot family, the castle became the summer residence of author Madame de La Fayette around 1670.
The property encompasses ornate ironwork from the 18th century, decorating both the main staircase and multiple balconies throughout the structure.
The castle, managed by the Val-de-Marne department, houses social services and includes a primary school within its reduced grounds.
The original gardens were designed by Le Nôtre, the principal gardener of King Louis XIV who also created the gardens of Versailles.
