pavillon Vendôme Garden

park garden

The Pavillon Vendôme is a small, seventeenth-century limestone mansion tucked behind a stone wall in the middle of modern Clichy. Its most striking feature is the formal French garden, designed with symmetrical gravel paths and manicured hedges that appear entirely removed from the city streets outside. A woman named Marie de Rohan, the Duchess of Chevreuse, once lived here in exile. She spent her days plotting against Cardinal Richelieu, turning this quiet house into a base for political intrigue during the reign of Louis thirteen.
