The Maisons Castle
Description
The Maisons-Laffitte chateau overlooks the Seine and has a French- style garden on a gentle slope. It is made up of a central block, flanked by two wings. The Hotel de Ville in Paris and the town halls of each of the twenty Paris arrondissements were built on the same model. The chateau is so famous that its image is commonplace. Yet the Château de Maisons was revolutionary in French chateau architecture. It was the masterpiece of a brilliant architect, François Mansart. The model affords a magnificent lesson in architecture.
