La Maison Fournaise Renoir the immersive experience

The Fournaise museum proposes a meeting with the artist during a show, punctuated by digital animations and videos, in the middle of the atmosphere recreated by the sets of theaters. of the museum. One hundred years after his death, Renoir is back in Chatou hologram! Familiarly, he tells us about his vision of painting, the harsh criticisms of his contemporaries, his workshop secrets, his loves, his relatives ... and the fertile inspiration drawn from the banks of the Seine. At the time of the first scandals, Durand-Ruel and some amateurs give him a decisive support by buying him paintings. Alphonse Fournaise is one of the first! He ordered his portrait and that of his daughter for 200 francs. For more than ten years, Renoir made frequent stays at home and around Chatou where he painted about thirty paintings. Aged nearly forty, he began the ambitious Breakfast of the Boaters. This painting, painted on the balcony of the Maison Fournaise, is the result of long research. The painter feels then that he has arrived "at the end of impressionism". This great admirer of the masters of the Italian Renaissance dreams of making this work a bridge between Veronese, Raphael and the modern life of his century. Retained at the Fournaise by his painting in 1880, he wrote to Monsieur de Bellio: "You will not regret your trip. It is the most beautiful place around Paris. " To complete your experience in the footsteps of Renoir, go back in time on the Fournaise hamlet thanks to the virtual reality helmets, wander among the characters of the Breakfast of the boaters with the tactile tablets or create your own work according to the master in painting Virtual.

The Petit Trianon
69 km

The Petit Trianon

The Petit Trianon was built between 1763 and 1768 by the architect Gabriel, requested by Madame de Pompadour, mistress then friend of king Louis XV. Madame de Pompadour, who wished to “relieve the king’s boredom” — though no longer his mistress, she remained his friend — was the instigator of this small château, built by architect Gabriel between 1763 and 1768. It was erected near the Botanical Garden and the new menagerie, as Louis XV had a keen interest in the sciences. To please the marquise, always at the forefront of fashion, the king’s architect broke away from the rococo aesthetic and adopted a cubic form with very pure lines, in keeping with the brand-new “Greek style” then in vogue. Its simplicity is only apparent, for each façade is different, designed in relation to the space it overlooks: the courtyard, the French Garden with its elegant pavilion, the Botanical Garden, and the Florist’s Garden. Inside, one finds the same modernity of style. Simpler than the rest of the estate, the decoration of the Petit Trianon lies not in lavish materials — gilding is almost absent — but in the refinement of its sculptures, in a château entirely dedicated to nature. Madame de Pompadour died in 1764 and never saw the château completed. Today, it is above all the memory of Marie-Antoinette that it evokes. In 1774, Louis XVI gave the Trianon estate to his wife, who was able to live here a life apart — too much so for some — from the Court.

Palace of Versailles

Since 1979, the Palace of Versailles has been listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It stands as one of the finest masterpieces of 17th-century French art. The Palace and the Trianon Estate are open every day, except Mondays. The Palace opens at 9 a.m., while the Trianon Estate opens only from 12 p.m. The Park and Gardens are open daily with free admission (access to the Gardens is ticketed on the days of the Musical Fountains Shows and Night Fountains Shows, as well as during the Musical Gardens). You can only access the Park via: the Queen’s Gate (Grille de la Reine, entrance for pedestrians, cyclists, and vehicles every day), the Saint-Antoine Gate (Porte Saint-Antoine, pedestrians and cyclists every day, vehicles only on weekends and public holidays), the Matelots Gate (Grille des Matelots, pedestrians and cyclists every day), from 7 a.m. to 8:30 p.m., with last entry at 6:15 p.m. in high season, and from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. in low season. By exploring the Hall of Mirrors, the King’s State Apartments, and the Museum of the History of France, you step into a palace that, until 1789, was the heart of royal power and continued to evolve over the centuries. Originally, Versailles was nothing more than a hunting lodge built by Louis XIII. But it was here that Louis XIV chose to construct the majestic palace we know today, a symbol of absolute monarchy and French classical art. In the 1670s, Louis XIV commissioned the construction of the King’s and Queen’s State Apartments. The most emblematic creation of these ceremonial spaces is undoubtedly the Hall of Mirrors, designed by Mansart. During the following century, the palace kept expanding, with major works such as the Royal Chapel and the Opera. Today, the Palace covers 63,154 m², spread across 2,300 rooms. Although the Palace lost its role as the seat of power in 1789, in the 19th century it was given a new purpose: to become the Museum of the History of France, an idea launched by Louis-Philippe, who ascended the throne in 1830. Many rooms of the palace were then transformed to house collections recounting the great moments of French history, enriched until the early 20th century.
