Château de Beauvoir, Neoclassical castle in Évry-Courcouronnes, France.
Description
Château de Beauvoir is a castle with neoclassical architecture in Évry-Courcouronnes, designed after the model of the Petit Trianon at Versailles. The building features a facade covered with stone-imitating coating and sits within a park spanning roughly 9 hectares.
History
Built after the model of Versailles, the castle served as headquarters for a national health insurance organization from 1949 onwards. This use ended in 2018, after which the building stood vacant.
Culture
The castle's interior preserves 18th-century features such as chandeliers, period fireplaces, and large mirrors adorning the walls. These details reflect how affluent households of that era furnished and decorated their living spaces.
Practical
Access to the estate is through an impressive gate framed by sculpted lions that signal the site's scale. Visitors should allow adequate time to explore both the building and the surrounding parkland.
Did you know?
The sculpted lions flanking the entrance gate were added only in the 1970s, making them more recent than the original building itself. This addition gives the gateway an extra sense of grandeur and presence.
