Grand Trianon-Inspired Palace, 20 Minutes West of Paris
Palais Rose is nestled in 1.7 acres of landscaped grounds within the Parc des Ibis, located in the beautiful garden-city of Vésinet.
The palace was built in 1899 for shipowner Arthur Schweitzer, designed after the Grand Trianon, a French Baroque style château built by King Louis XIV at Versailles.
The property has an illustrious history of its own as the home of famed French poet Robert de Montesquiou in the early 20th century, and hosted General de Gaulle when he was en route to take the Fourth Armoured Division in May 1940—a plaque on the property commemorates the event.
The historically designated property underwent a meticulous restoration project between 1999 and 2005, utilizing a team of highly qualified sculptors, gilders, carpenters, marble workers, and brick layers.
The palace features incredible and authentic period detail throughout, reflecting the quality of their craftsmanship. In addition to the conservation and restoration of the heritage property, Cogemad doubled the square footage of the palace beneath the park to over 25,000 square feet.
The property now includes a leisure complex with a gym, a squash court, and a 52-foot swimming pool and spa.
There are an abundance of living and entertaining areas, several opulent reception rooms, 4 bedroom suites, and a screening room in the main palace.
The property comes with a 4 suite guest house, as well as a caretaker villa and staff accommodations on the property.
