What Château de Bercy looked like in its prime.

A mid-17th/early-18th-century French classical château sitting beside the Seine, composed of a principal stone corps de logis with adjoining service buildings and symmetrical flanking pavilions; a formal Le Nôtre garden axis and parterres descended from the house to the riverbank. The roofline featured attic windows and chimneys above a continuous stone façade; two small hunting pavilions bookended the approach along the rue du Petit Château.
