La 'Villa Poiret' Signée Mallet Stevens

The famous modern château of Paul Poiret by Robert Mallet-Stevens
Designed in the early 1920s by Robert Mallet-Stevens for the fashion designer Paul Poiret, this property, also known as Château de Mézy, is the only significant residence designed by Mallet-Stevens to have remained private. It has been listed as a Historic Monument since 1984.

Set within a landscaped park of about 5 hectares overlooking the Seine valley, the property includes the main villa of approximately 800 m², surrounded by over 1000 m² of terraces, and a caretaker’s house of 93 m².

At the entrance to the property, the two-level caretaker’s house features an entrance, a living area with open kitchen and pantry, a bedroom with terrace, and a bathroom also with terrace.

The U-shaped villa is organized into three wings, each with its own entrance, framing a central alley lined with olive trees. The main double glass and black wrought iron door opens onto a large entrance hall leading to a spectacular reception area with 7-meter-high ceilings. One corner is fitted with huge windows overlooking the open view and landscape to the southeast. This space opens onto a vast terrace that leads to the park.

Villa Poiret enjoys a preserved natural environment within the Vexin Français Regional Natural Park, northwest of Paris, 30 km from Versailles, 25 km from Pontoise and Saint-Germain-en-Laye. It is easily accessible from Paris via the A13 and A14 highways.
