Palais Rose in Vésinet

The Palais Rose is a limestone villa in Le Vésinet featuring a rectangular main section with curved doorways separated by pink marble pillars. The property includes a main residence with reception areas, four suites, a cinema, an indoor pool, a squash court, and a gymnasium set within landscaped grounds.

Built in 1900 for shipowner Arthur Schweitzer, the villa draws design inspiration from the Grand Trianon at Versailles. This influence shaped its refined proportions and elegant architectural details.

The name comes from the distinctive pink marble that covers the facade, giving the residence its elegant appearance. Visitors can observe this striking coloring when walking around the grounds.

The grounds are easily accessible on foot and visible from the street, making it straightforward to explore from the surrounding area. The best time to visit is in good weather when the facade and gardens can be fully appreciated.

In May 1940, General Charles de Gaulle stayed at the Ermitage building on the grounds during a significant moment in French history. A plaque on rue Diderot marks this noteworthy visit to the property.
