Né d'un pari entre Marie-Antoinette et le comte d'Artois, futur Charles X, le pavillon de Bagatelle est édifié dans le Bois de Boulogne en 1777 par François-Joseph Bélanger sur le modèle d'une villa néo-palladienne entourée de pittoresques jardins anglais dessinés par Thomas Blaikie. Domaine idyllique, admiré tant en Europe qu'en Amérique, Bagatelle a accueilli de célèbres occupants - le roi de Rome, le duc de Berry, Richard Seymour-Conway, quatrième marquis de Hertford, ou Richard Wallace - avant d'être acquis par la Ville de Paris en 1905. Si le parc et sa roseraie font les délices d'un public fidèle, le pavillon, fermé depuis quinze ans, menaçait ruine. La restauration confiée à la Fondation Mansart a sauvé ce joyau architectural en lui restituant sa splendeur d'antan, ce dont témoigne ce volume magnifiquement illustré de photographies inédites et de rares documents d'archives.

Philanthropist and art collector Nicolas Cattelain worked in finance before dedicating himself to art, history, and heritage. He is involved with many international museums and is chairman of the Fondation du Château de Bagatelle. Bruno Ehrs is an award-winning Swedish photographer whose work has been published in Jacques Garcia: A Sicilian Dream, Villa Elena; Vaux-le-Vicomte: A Private Invitation; Château de Villette; Villa Balbiano; A Day at Château de Vaux-le-Vicomte; and Chaumet: Parisian Jeweler Since 1780, all published by Flammarion.
The Château de Bagatelle was built by François-Joseph Bellanger for the Comte d’Artois, future King Charles X, in the Bois de Boulogne on the outskirts of Paris. Picturesque English gardens were designed by Thomas Blaikie as a park embellished with artificial ponds, rivers, bridges, and ornamented with sculptures. The splendors of the pavilion and its gardens were described by prestigious visitors, including Thomas Jefferson. Spared by the Revolution, Bagatelle became the setting for many important moments in European history. It was purchased by the City of Paris in 1905. The park has remained open, but the Château has been closed to the public for the last fifteen years. The restoration of Bagatelle has now been entrusted to the Mansart Foundation: a team of specialists and the collaboration of Jacques Garcia will bring the Château to its glory. This illustrated volume recounts the fabulous history of Bagatelle with spectacular new photography, unpublished archival documents, and insightful texts by specialists.
