Caillebotte's House

Satisfy your curiosity and follow the footsteps of Gustave Caillebotte himself, since it is here, in the family resort, that the painter planted his easel in open air and painted nearly 90 paintings in the summers of the 1870s.
The Caillebotte property is a public garden located in the city center. It is now open to public and is as much a resting place as an invitation to discover a rich historical heritage: the famous "ornamental factories" that dot this beautiful park have almost all been restored.
The Caillebotte house can also be visited. In the 1830s, the Caillebotte Property layout followed the principles in vogue: a site chosen for its undulating valleys, its vegetable wealth. The sinuous alleys lead the visitor to the "ornamentation factories", small constructions of varied architectures.
The river skirting the domain traces the northen limit. The property Caillebotte is harmoniously integrated into the countryside landscape that once characterized the small village of Yerres.
Rich owners, from Borrel to Caillebotte, gave a beautiful look to this sublime English garden. Today, the public garden offers to the visitor an exceptional geographical situation, its preserved views, beautiful trees and all curiosities that history patiently composed.
The Yerres river banks kept their charm. The pictorial presence of Gustave Caillebotte, still identifiable, brings a higher dimension to this place of heritage, which bears the name of an artist and exceptional man.
The Caillebotte's House is located at the geographical center of the municipality of Yerres. Typical of the 19th century, it was built in the 1830's, in the "English" style with an irregular layout.
