Vaires-sur-marne, Seine-et-Marne, Ile de France

More than just a gourmand and spontaneous passion, more than the traditional end to our meals: cheese is often associated with the image of French cuisine, recognised as immaterial heritage by UNESCO. But it is also the result - the icing on the cake - of the collective work of various actors, much more discreet than the stars of our TV screens. These artisans work in harmony with our soils. Their trades and above all their passion are much less well known. To the East of Paris, Seine-et-Marne plays to its strengths. The nourishing land of the Ile-de-France region is one of the bastions of dairy production. The department takes great pride in its two Protected Designation of Origin cheeses: the Brie de Meaux and Brie de Melun... And it also enjoys completely unexpected cheese treasures whose production sites till now held the secrets of production: tomme rouge, camenchèvre, Brie-Yères, cœur à la crème, roblochèvre, etc.

Built by the transient fortune of two financiers at the end of Louis XIV’s reign, this chateau is a model of eighteenth century architecture and decoration. The most famous occupier was the Marquise de Pompadour, who rented the chateau for three years in 1757, spending a considerable amount on it. The century which followed saw the chateau passing from hand to hand before being acquired by Count Louis Cahen d’Anvers, who spent a fortune on restoring it. The Count’s son gifted the chateau and land to the State in 1935 and it became one of the official residences of the French Republic. Many kings and heads of State were welcomed there. The architect Jean Baptiste Bullet endeavoured to improve domestic layout by building rooms that no longer communicated with each other, an innovation. For the first time, there were ante-rooms and dressing rooms, and hidden staircases for access to the servants’ quarters. The novelty of a dining room specially reserved for taking meals was also an improvement. In the salons and rooms on the ground floor and first floor, exquisite furniture and refined decorations can be seen. The Chinese salon has panels painted by Huet that illustrate the oriental tastes of the eighteenth century. Visitors will see a delightful portrait of the Marquise dressed as a gardener on their tour.

In 1825, Jean-Antoine-Brutus Menier acquired the Noisiel mill and three hectares of land. This site is at the origin of the creation of a factory for the industrial production of chocolate. The manufacturing site has undergone several phases of transformation since the arrival of the Meniers in 1825 and the presence of a mill designed to grind pharmaceutical substances. From the 1860s, the business became a real industrial complex where the organisation of the manufacturing space was completely redesigned. The buildings were then arranged in accordance with the manufacturing process. The design of the mill by Jules Saulnier (1878-1881) is a successful collaboration between "Art Nouveau" architecture from the end of the 19th century and industrial functionality. The industrial complex was completed from 1874 with the construction of a workers' city. Up to 1924, the reconstructions and new buildings, made necessary by the expansion of production, perfectly integrated the technical progress of the 19th century, as well as an exceptional architectural aesthetic. After the departure of the Menier family in 1960, the lands of the complex were sold to several successive groups. The old Menier chocolate factory was converted into a head office by the Nestlé-France SAS group in 1996. This conversion, carried out by the architects Reichen and Robert, is based on "the dialogue between contemporary and ancient architecture". The buildings of the first Menier factories now belong to the French industrial heritage and have been listed as historic monuments since 1986.

The Water Mirror is a 1 metre deep water-basin in a quiet spot that gets its water supply from natural stream waters. This place was once part of a domain called Périac, which was located on the fiefdom lands of "La Roche du Parc" founded in 1692 which, itself, had been constructed following the division of the fiefdom lands of Villeflix. The water-basin and its horse-shoe shaped steps are probably the last of the remaining vestiges from the 18th century and are visible on a map created by Abbé de la Grive dated in 1750 : at that time, beautiful bourgeois homes with their French gardens could be found dotting the hillsides of the Marne.
