École Notre-Dame les Oiseaux, Catholic educational complex in Verneuil-sur-Seine, France.
École Notre-Dame les Oiseaux is an educational complex in Verneuil-sur-Seine featuring an 18th-century castle and classroom buildings set on manicured grounds. The institution houses students from kindergarten through secondary school and offers multiple educational pathways, including international curricula.
The Notre-Dame Congregation acquired the property in 1929 and converted the former castle into an educational facility. The chapel was inaugurated in 1935, establishing the campus as both a religious and academic center.
The school chapel displays stained glass windows created by the Mauméjean brothers and reflects early 20th-century French religious design traditions. This space preserves the artistic style of its era and continues to shape the character of the campus today.
The grounds are situated on elevated terrain with multiple zones for different grade levels connected by pathways. Visitors should wear suitable footwear, as the site is hilly and walking across the property requires some effort.
The campus was built on the site of an English-style park designed by Vital Vial between 1806 and 1808 to replace a formal French garden. This landscape design with its natural layout and winding pathways remains visible throughout the grounds.
