Château de Bizy, Historical château in Vernon, France
Château de Bizy is a Classicist château in Vernon featuring extensive gardens with stone fountains, ponds, and structured pathways surrounding the main building. The grounds display a deliberate design that incorporates stables and water features throughout the landscape.
The château was built in 1675 for Michel-André Jubert de Bouville, a state counselor and intendant. It underwent substantial modifications across the following centuries, reflecting changing tastes and needs.
The château displays furniture handcrafted in the 18th century by Martin Carlin, each piece bearing the castle's emblem. These works reflect the traditions of French craftsmanship from that era.
The château opens for visitors during scheduled periods and holiday seasons, with special programming on December weekends and throughout the Christmas period. Plan your visit around these seasonal openings for the best experience.
The stables are deliberately integrated into the overall design as an architectural element, reflecting the importance of horses in the daily life of nobility. These functional buildings merit as much attention as the main château.

The castles surrounding Paris provide insight into several centuries of French history. From medieval fortresses to Renaissance palaces to Napoleonic residences, each structure represents different architectural styles and periods. These buildings served as homes for French kings, emperors and noble families, and today house significant collections of furniture, artworks and historical objects. Many are surrounded by extensive gardens and grounds that are also open to visitors. The collection spans a wide geographic area from Versailles to the Loire Valley, offering destinations that range from half-hour to two-hour drives from Paris. Properties like Versailles and Fontainebleau attract millions of visitors annually, while smaller estates like Château de Breteuil or Château de Condé provide quieter alternatives. Some, like Château de Guédelon, offer unusual perspectives on medieval construction methods, while restored sites such as Château de Pierrefonds demonstrate 19th-century interpretations of medieval architecture.
