Palais Rose is nestled in 1.7 acres of landscaped grounds within the Parc des Ibis, located in the beautiful garden-city of Vésinet.
The palace was built in 1899 for shipowner Arthur Schweitzer, designed after the Grand Trianon, a French Baroque style château built in 1687 by architect Jules Hardouin-Mansart for King Louis XIV at Versailles.
The property has an illustrious history of its own as the home of famed French poet Robert de Montesquiou in the early 20th century, and hosted General de Gaulle when he was en route to take the Fourth Armoured Division in May 1940—a plaque on the property commemorates the event.
Between 1999 and 2005, the Palais Rose underwent a meticulous restoration, executed by the COGEMAD Company and a team of highly skilled artisans
Sculptors, gilders, carpenters, marble workers, and bricklayers worked hand-in-hand to preserve its Baroque magnificence while enhancing it for modern living. The result is a property that retains its historical integrity, yet boasts state-of-the-art amenities to satisfy the demands of 21st-century luxury.
The sprawling 19,000-square-foot property offers a harmonious balance between grandeur and intimacy.
The reception rooms, adorned with period details, are designed for lavish entertaining, while the private living areas provide unparalleled comfort. The Owner’s Suite is the pinnacle of luxury, featuring ‘His and Hers’ dressing rooms and bathrooms that exude sophistication.
For leisure, the Palais Rose offers an array of world-class amenities. The estate includes a 52-foot swimming pool, a fully equipped gym, a squash court, and a spa complete with a sauna and hammam. For movie enthusiasts, there’s a private cinema and a games room, ensuring that entertainment is never far from reach.
The landscaped grounds that surround the palace are nothing short of breathtaking. Spread over 1.7 acres (7,000 sq. meters), the gardens offer a peaceful retreat from the hustle and bustle of city life. A Japanese garden, a roseraie (rose garden), a soccer field, and a fountain create a sense of tranquility. For those with a green thumb, the greenhouse adds a unique touch to the grounds.
Beyond the main villa, the estate features additional accommodations, ensuring that guests and staff are housed in comfort and style. A four-suite guest house provides privacy for visitors, while the caretaker villa and staff quarters ensure that the estate is always maintained to the highest standards.
In a property of this stature, security is paramount. The Palais Rose is equipped with a state-of-the-art surveillance system, providing peace of mind for its residents. The system is discreet yet highly effective, blending seamlessly into the estate’s luxurious setting.
Palais Rose is not just a home; it is a piece of French history, a sanctuary of elegance, and a modern-day palace. With its lush grounds, unmatched architecture, and luxurious amenities, this property offers an unparalleled lifestyle just 20 minutes from the heart of Paris.
