Property Caillebotte, Neoclassical house in Yerres, France

Property Caillebotte is a neoclassical house in Yerres, its main building called Le Casin, with a Palladian colonnade and statues of Venus and Apollo on the north facade. The two-story house of light stone or stucco, with a dark hipped roof and white-framed windows, stands on an eleven-hectare park laid out in the English style in the 1830s. The park holds ornamental follies, an orangery, an ornamental farm and a kitchen garden.

The mansion was built around 1830 as a country retreat for wealthy Parisians. The Caillebotte family bought it around 1860 and used it as a summer base, where painter Gustave Caillebotte produced part of his work.

The estate has held the Maison des Illustres label since 2012. The main house, Le Casin, opened to visitors in June 2017 after a year of works, with twelve rooms over three levels, from the vestibule to the restored painter's studio, which regularly shows original works by Gustave Caillebotte. The Empire furniture made by goldsmith Martin-Guillaume Biennais was sold in 1962 and bought back in 2016 for the parents' bedroom.

The estate is in Yerres, reachable from Paris by RER D in about 30 minutes, with a short walk from the station. The main house is open year-round; the kitchen garden opens from May to October, and boat rides on the Yerres run from May to September. Some paths are uneven, so sturdy shoes help.

Gustave Caillebotte painted several of his best-known canvases directly on this property, including rowing scenes on the Yerres river. The river running through the grounds is the same one visible in those paintings, making it easy to stand on the exact spot where he worked.
