The history of this small castle is interesting. In 1775 the Count of Artois bought the house in the Bagatelle park. Marie-Antoinette came to visit it and found the house too run down. She took a bet with the Count that he would not be able to build a new castle before his return from his trip two months later. The Count hired 900 workers and spent a fortune to win his bet. 60 days later the castle was built.
