Château Marmont, Medieval castle in Châtillon-sur-Seine, France
The neo-classical castle stands at the western exit of Châtillon-sur-Seine, positioned along the northeastern bank of RD 965 near the Seine river.
Built on a 15th-century fortified site, the castle belonged to Marshal Marmont and hosted Napoleon Bonaparte during his military campaigns in 1795 and 1796.
The structure represents French feudal architecture with its surviving wing rebuilt after the 1870 fire caused by Prussian forces during their withdrawal.
The castle remains a private residence owned by the Maitre family since 1824, and access to the grounds and buildings is not permitted for public visits.
General Joffre initiated the First Battle of the Marne from this location in 1914, and future U.S. President Harry Truman stayed here in 1917.
