Château Lot

Château Lot is a listed historical estate in Ris-Orangis comprising several protected buildings, including a main pavilion and a dovecote, arranged within a wooded park. The structures are connected by a paved pathway that links the various elements of the property.

The estate originated as a hunting lodge used for wolf hunting by the local lord, then became state property during the French Revolution. The Lot family subsequently purchased and developed the site into its current form.

The estate reflects design choices from two centuries that shaped its appearance over time. These layers show how different owners left their mark on the buildings and grounds.

The property is currently undergoing renovation work for residential conversion, so public access may be limited or restricted. Check conditions before visiting or view the protected buildings and park from the surrounding area.

The estate was once home to Henri Lot, an important archivist in the 19th century, reflecting connections to French cultural institutions. The original farm buildings that still stand on the grounds now serve local artisans and craftspeople.
