The Château de Maintenon was the private residence of the famous second "secret" spouse of Louis XIV, Madame de Maintenon, born Françoise d'Aubigné and widow of the poet Scarron.

Her story is one of a governess who became King's wife. The visitors can enjoy the 17th-century apartments of Madame de Maintenon and Marshal Adrien-Maurice Duke d’Ayen then Duke de Noailles, together with the small 19th-century apartments designed by Duke Paul de Noailles and his wife Alicia de Rochechouart de Mortemart, the King’s room or former bedroom of Louis XIV at Maintenon, and the large 19th-century apartments followed by the gallery inspired by Louis Philippe’s grand galleries at the Château de Versailles and the Château d’Eu.

Outside the visitors can enjoy the newly created French-style gardens, based on the plans of Le Nôtre, King Louis XIV’s famous gardener, for the château de Maintenon and the aqueduct.

The Château de Maintenon is a venue for seminars and receptions.
