Built in the mid-11th century by Hugues de Clermont, Château de Montataire was modified over the centuries, and added a chapel, a weapons room and stables.
Famous guests such as Odet de Coligny, Henri IV and the Marquise de Sévigné have stayed in this residence, now owned by François-Xavier Bernet and his daughter.
The château has been open to the public since 2012 for tours and receptions.
The visit ended with a snack at the château.

Morning:
Maison de Victor Hugo, place des Vosges (Paris 4e) guided tour of the "Hugo à la une" exhibition.
Victor Hugo's fame and political commitment made him a favorite subject for the caricaturists of his day.
The exhibition is a journey through his work, in three parts:
"La forte tête" (1830-1848),
"La renommée de l'absent" (1852-1870),
"Hugophobia and Hugolatry" (1870-1885).

Afternoon:
Musée du Louvre guided tour of the exhibition "Un rêve d'italie": the Campana collection.
Marquis Campana, an Italian aristocrat, assembled the most important private collection of the 19th century, rich in antiques, paintings, sculptures and Renaissance objects. Thanks to an exceptional collaboration between the Musée du Louvre and the Hermitage Museum, the exhibition gives a complete picture of this collection for the first time in 160 years.
