The Château de Champs-sur-Marne is a neoclassical château built beginning in 1699 for the treasurer Charles Renouard de la Touane, with construction overseen by Pierre Bullet, architecte du roi, and completed in 1706 by his son Jean-Baptiste Bullet de Chamblain. Located in Champs-sur-Marne, France, it passed through the hands of several prominent owners, including the princesse de Conti and the duc de La Vallière, whose son Louis César de La Baume Le Blanc became a celebrated bibliophile and patron of Enlightenment writers such as Voltaire and Diderot. Around 1750, the duke commissioned a rococo Chinese salon adorned with wall paintings by the artist Christophe Huet. The estate later housed Madame de Pompadour, the mistress of King Louis XV, who undertook substantial renovations between 1757 and 1759. Today classified as a historical monument, the château stands as a testament to eighteenth-century aristocratic taste and refinement.
