Château de Bellevue
The Château de Bellevue was a small mid-18th-century pleasure house built for Madame de Pompadour on a plateau at Meudon, overlooking the Seine. Completed in 1750 and altered in 1757 with two wings, it served as an intimate royal residence before being demolished in 1823; only ancillary features such as the ice house and parts of the terrace survived into the 20th century.

As it stood in 1757
The shape it held in its prime.
An almost-square, two-storey mid-18th-century château with a symmetrical nine-bay front and six-bay sides, each façade finished with a simple triangular pediment and sculpted busts placed between the first-floor bays. After 1757 two low wings linked to the main block. Service buildings clustered around a west courtyard, a formal parterre to the west, and terraces and walks descending the slope to the small riverside dépendance called Brimborion to the east above the Seine.
