La Laiterie de la Reine - Rambouillet
La Laiterie de la Reine

In the Castle park is a beautiful Doric Pavilion, called the "Laiterie de Ia Reine," where Marie Antoinette and her suite used to partake of basins of fresh milk. In the background is a beautiful artificial Grotto, with a marble basin; in the centre is an exquisite marble statue of Venus entering the Bath, by Beanvallet. From a reservoir on the top of the building the water falls over her shoulders, and jets spout up from the pavement.

CHATEAU DE BRETEUIL - Rambouillet
CHATEAU DE BRETEUIL

The Château de Breteuil has remained the property of the same family since it was built between 1604 and 1610. Previously, the same sitewas occupied by Gallo-Roman villas and later by a medieval fortress, of which only the pigeon tour remains. The Breteuil family closely served the kings of France throughout the 17th and 18th centuries. The ground floor, used at the present time for receptions, is decorated with rare portraits of Kings, numerous portraits of ministers, ambassadors, high-ranking officers and bishops who lived at the time of the Kings Louis XV and Louis XVI.
