Toile de Jouy Museum

Located in the charming Château de l’Églantine in Jouy-en-Josas, the Musée de la Toile de Jouy brings to life the legacy of the famous Jouy Manufacture, founded in 1760 by Christophe-Philippe Oberkampf, a visionary entrepreneur and printer. Created in 1977 in the very town where Toile de Jouy was born, the museum celebrates this emblem of French textiles — a painted or printed cotton fabric, also known as *indienne* — while carrying forward the values of its creator: entrepreneurship, humanism, and openness to the world. Since 1991, the museum has been housed in the Château de l’Églantine, bearing witness to the quality and expertise of the Oberkampf manufactory, active from 1760 to 1848. Its collections bring together nearly 10,000 pieces from the 18th century to today: painted and printed fabrics, sample books, drawings, gouaches, paintings, costumes, furniture, bed linens, as well as various tools and mechanisms linked to printing techniques. The production of Jouy-en-Josas is represented, alongside other French centers (Normandy, Alsace, Provence) and foreign ones (Great Britain, Italy). In 2022, the Musée de la Toile de Jouy inaugurated its new historical exhibition spaces dedicated to the 18th and 19th centuries. This immersive journey into the Oberkampf manufactory (1760–1843) and its 30,000 printed motifs invites visitors to step into interiors inspired by the Oberkampf family — a bedroom, a study, and a music room — and discover how printed textiles were used in furnishings. To complement the visit, an interactive digital installation familiarizes visitors with this remarkable textile heritage. The permanent collections highlight the history, printing techniques, and use of Toile de Jouy in both clothing and interior decoration. With the support of the Friends of the Musée de la Toile de Jouy, the museum regularly acquires new pieces — textiles, objects, costumes — from both the time of Oberkampf and contemporary creators. Many artists, publishers, and designers draw inspiration from Toile de Jouy to create their collections, contributing to the influence of this heritage. The permanent exhibition showcases the incredible creativity of the era’s designers through floral, geometric, and figurative motifs, while also presenting the evolution of printing techniques: wooden blocks, copperplates, and copper rollers. Reconstructions featuring pieces from the French National Furniture Collection evoke Oberkampf’s private world as a true visionary. ### Special Offer 🎟️ Enjoy **15% off all tickets** with the *Pass Malin*!

Musée Raymond Devos

Musée Raymond Devos

Visitors will discover in Saint-Rémy-lès-Chevreuse the artist's home as he wished to leave it, after living there for more than 40 years. This is the first museum devoted to a music-hall artist to be awarded the Maison des Illustres label. As Raymond Devos wished, the house in which he lived for over 40 years in Saint-Rémy-lès-Chevreuse has opened its doors to let the public discover his own world. The museum extends over 3 floors and allows visitors to (re)discover the comedian through numerous personal effects and artefacts including 17 musical instruments that he knew how to play and used on stage. Visitors can also (re)discover some of his most iconic sketches! After three years of work to transform the building into a museum, visitors can now explore a number of areas that have been recreated exactly as they were in that time, including the artist's office, and can even take a look at his notebooks. As in a theatre, the colours chosen for the House-Museum are red, white and black. At the entrance, visitors will discover Raymond Devos' two Molières prices, as well as his only school diploma: his primary school certificate. In the living room, the visitor will discover a large library with his favourite authors and a number of objects, including a Meccano and a Rodin's ‘The Thinker’, which he used to take with him on tour. A little further on, visitors enter his reconstructed dressing room. But Raymond Devos' lair is on the top floor, in the attic. It was in this room that he liked to work, and it has retained its ‘bazaar’ feel: stacks of books, cassettes, paintings, electric trains and other children's toys, a large piano, a Morris column... It's as if you're entering the bedroom of a grown-up child, which he managed to remain.

Le Donjon de Houdan

Le Donjon de Houdan

The Donjon de Houdan is a 12th-century tower commissioned by the Counts of Montfort. This historic monument is also a cultural venue, offering exhibitions, concerts... The Tower (commonly known as ‘Le Donjon’), built in the 12th century under the reign of the Counts of Montfort, and listed as a Historic Monument since 1889, was designed to watch out for enemies and defend the territory. But in reality, its main role was to act as a deterrent, as it was reputed to be impregnable. Built on the site of an ancient Merovingian necropolis, it originally consisted of an enclosure and a master tower. The enclosure, which has now disappeared, was fitted with a circular turret to defend the gateway. The access door -via a drawbridge-, initially situated 4 metres above ground level and then raised to 6 metres in the 15th century, was the only access to the large room on the 1st floor reserved for the military chief. Sometimes associated with the Duchy of Brittany and sometimes with the crown of France, Le Donjon was given by Louis XIV, with the county of Montfort, to the Duke of Luynes. The latter sold it in 1800 to an innkeeper from Houdan, citizen Leroy. Successively owned by various familie, the place was bequeathed by the latter to the town of Houdan in 1903. It presents traces of its history through its numerous graffiti, some dating from the 17th century. Used as a reserve, then as a prison and later a water tower, it underwent a certain number of changes in order to adapt to its new functions. The water tower, whose first metal tank was installed in 1880, was functional until the 1950s. In 1952, a new, more solid concrete tank was built. The tank is still present to this day, as well as part of the concrete uprights used to support it. Le Donjon consists of a tower 15 m in diameter and 25 m high, flanked by 4 turrets of the same height located at the four cardinal points. MONUMENTAL WORKS Like any historical monument requiring renovation, the work on the dungeon was difficult and complicated due to the historical, architectural aspect and the planning constraints of the monument. No less than 3 and a half years of work were necessary to allow the site to regain a second lease of life and to be able to welcome the many visitors, curious to discover or rediscover this flagship monument of the Houdan landscape. From now on, young and old will be able to explore the dungeon from bottom to top!
