About Rambouillet Castle

The Château de Rambouillet is a majestic royal residence situated in the heart of Rambouillet, surrounded by a vast landscaped park in the Yvelines department of Île-de-France. Originally built as a fortified manor in the 14th century, the castle has served as a royal hunting lodge, an imperial retreat under Napoleon, and the official summer residence of French presidents since 1896.
