THE STORY
A discreet rendez-vous for French royalty and international aristocracy
Built in the XIIIth century, the château de Méridon will first serve as a wildlife preserve to King Louis XVI. It will then become the treasured hunting fief of the highest members of French aristocracy.
From the 1900's on, the château will see a diversity of owners and tenants starting with Henry White, the American ambassador in France.
It will become a landmark of the Chevreuse Valley under the supervision of Mrs Sullivan, a wealthy American lady who will elevate the château to the highest standards - especially its gardens.
She will host dinners and parties for family and friends among the American high society.
After WW2, the château will be used by the Dutch government as a shelter for nationals willing to establish themselves in France.
In 2013, the château de Méridon will be privatised to host weddings and professional events.
