The castle and the two factories will be exceptionally closed on Wednesday December 4th all day.
A former medieval fortress, the Rambouillet castle was gradually transformed into a pleasure residence and decorated with elegant decorations by its illustrious owners.
The spaces unveiled to visitors bear witness to this rich history: now a place of exhibitions, the ceremonial apartment of the Bourbon-Penthièvre family offers the visitor an elegant decor of rocaille woodwork from the 1730s. , the dining room of the presidents recalls the place of the monument in our contemporary history with the reconstitution of the table laid in 1975 on the occasion of the meeting of the first G6.

Laid out in the historic gardens of the Rambouillet estate, the Laiterie de la Reine is about 1km from the Château. It was in 1785 that Louis XVI took the decision to build a dairy in Rambouillet, where his wife could taste dairy products as in Trianon. This place, intended for the pastoral meetings of Marie-Antoinette, still contains exceptional works. Entirely restored in 2007, the dairy is a remarkable witness to the Art of Living developed at that time in the aristocratic milieu.
Laid out in the historic gardens of the Rambouillet estate, the Chaumière aux coquillages is about 2km from the Château. In the tradition of the Prince of Condé at Chantilly or of Queen Marie-Antoinette at the Trianon, the Duke of Penthièvre had an English garden laid out in the park of his residence, in 1779-1780, embellished with three factories including a thatched cottage. Built for the pleasure of the Princess of Lamballe, her daughter-in-law, it was completely restored in 2005. It has one of the most beautiful decorations of mother-of-pearl and shells in Europe.
