Ce château ce trouve en plein milieu d'un parc il faut beaucoup ce cacher pour pas être vue le lieu est très beau mais dangereux
Histoire :Le Château de la solitude ou château chocolat qui tient ce nom de la première propriétaire, Marie-Philiberte Marquis, qui était la petite fille d'un grand chocolatier parisien. Grace à son immense héritage elle fit construire ce château en 1903 et y vivra à peine une dizaine d'années. À sa mort, le petit château deviendra une clinique privée qui verra mourir l’ancien président du Conseil René Viviani, un couvent pour religieuses carmélites et enfin un centre d’enseignement pour jeunes mères célibataires… Tout ça en à peine soixante ans. Le lieu est définitivement abandonné en 1976.

When you feel stressed out about the big, crowded city (and it’s 39 degrees in July), you may travel to this amazing village and visit Bois de la Solitude (The forest of Solitude) and the castle by the same name.
The area was used by a religious order from 1613. In 1881 the place was bought by Jean-Baptiste Toulet who built a garden and two chateaus. The building that still stands today was built after Marie-Philiberte Marquis bought the property in 1898. IF I REMEMBER RIGHT, she was related to a man with a chocolate factory which gave the chateau its nickname Château du Chocolat. The chateau is middle-class neo-Gothic style, and it was built 1903.
The current chateau was only used for about 60 years then abandoned in 1976.
I got most of my facts from here: https://random-times.com/2022/04/14/the-short-and-rich-life-of-the-abandoned-chateau-de-la-solitude-of-plessis-robinson/
The chateau is surrounded by a fence approx. 3 meters high that is very hard to climb. So don’t do that. Bring your drone if you want a better view. :)
The forest is very calm and a nice place for a picknick and the village next to it is very clean, calm and peaceful.
