Description

This elegant country house from the end of the 17th century, embellished with a magnificent garden, houses frescoes and canvases by the famous Grasse painter Jean-Honoré Fragonard, his son Alexandre-Evariste, his grandson Théophile and his -Sister Marguerite Gérard. Painter of gallant love, Jean-Honoré received in 1771, from the Countess of Barry, favorite of King Louis XV, the order of a cycle on the theme of Love for his new pavilion of the castle of Louveciennes. Finally set up in the large living room of our country house, these are today splendid replicas of these paintings that adorn the walls of the room. We also discover in the stairwell, an astonishing trompe-l'oeil decoration, painted by Jean-Honoré Fragonard during his stay in Grasse in 1791.
