* Château de Neuilly:
Built in 1751 by Jean-Sylvain Cartaud for the Count d'Argenson, Château de Neuilly was sold in 1766 by the Count's heir, the Marquis de Paulmy, to financier Radix de Sainte-Foy, who sold it after the Revolution to Madame de Montesson. The château was then leased by Talleyrand, and under the Empire belonged to Princess Pauline Borghèse. Under the Restoration, Neuilly was acquired by the Duc d'Orléans, future King Louis-Philippe, who had it transformed and enlarged by the architect Pierre-François-Léonard Fontaine. The château became the summer residence of the d'Orléans family. After the 1848 Revolution, it was burned and looted, then confiscated by Napoleon III, along with all the property of the House of Orléans, and the estate was divided into several hundred lots sold by successive auction starting in 1854.
