The Tour du Plumet was built in 1863, commissioned by Baron Joseph Louis Léopold Double, a wealthy aristocrat. It was a meeting point for hunting. This tower was part of a larger ensemble which was the baron's home. He collected many pieces of art there. But it is impossible to escape the translatio imperii or "transfer of power". This building is the only survivor of the entire construction.

Hunting Castle

Highlight • Forest

Located in the heart of the Montmorency forest, the Château de la Chasse is a real architectural curiosity. It has been reworked several times throughout its history. Two great figures used to walk around it: Jean-Jacques Rousseau and Bernard de Jussieu. Not bad as a company for a botanist walk!

The Château de la Chasse, located in the heart of the Montmorency forest, is a site steeped in history and mystery. This medieval manor, once a hunting lodge for kings, stands proudly on the edge of a peaceful pond, offering an idyllic setting for a walk in the heart of nature. Surrounded by vast forests and shaded paths, the castle invites contemplation and discovery of the local flora and fauna.
