Château, parc et jardins de Monte-Cristo in Port-Marly

In 1844, Alexandre Dumas was living in Saint Germain en Laye, seeking peace and tranquillity in a house in the country for his writing, far from the bustle of Paris. He scoured the countryside overlooking the Seine at Port-Marly. An elegant residence with fully sculpted façades and set in three hectares of grounds with grottoes, rock gardens and basins was born : the Château de Monte Cristo.
The grounds of the Château de Monte Cristo were restored between 1990 and 1994 and are now as they were in Dumas'time. The Château d'If, the writer's workroom, is itself surroundedby water, symbolising the author's isolation when faced with a blank page. The Bassin du Dragon, a pool just below the château, has also been restored.
