The source that feeds the ponds today made it a fashionable place where members of the Court built beautiful properties.

Thus in 1772, the Prince of Rohan-Guéméné and his wife, known as Madame de Guéméné acquired the domain of Montreuil, which they enlarge to form a property of 8 hectares.

The transformations of both the house and the gardens were entrusted to the architect Alexandre Louis Étable de La Brière.

In 1783, following the scandalous bankruptcy of the Guéméné, Louis XVI bought the house for his younger sister Elisabeth.

They were treated by the doctor and botanist Louis Guillaume Le Monnier, who brought rare plants to the garden of the estate.

The buildings were heavily altered, undoubtedly under the Bourbon Restoration or July Monarchy, resulting in the configuration that we know today.
