Origin and history

Lamirault Farm, situated on horseback in the communes of Collégien and Croissy-Beaubourg in Seine-et-Marne, is a monument dating back to the 15th century. Its buildings, remodelled in the 17th and 19th centuries, reflect an architectural evolution typical of the farms in franciliennes, combining agricultural and residential functions. The whole, partially protected since 1985, includes facades, roofs, a bridge and moat, with the exception of buildings south of the estate.

This site is marked by a notable historical episode: Joseph Fouché, a major political figure of the French Revolution and the Empire, stayed there between 1801 and 1837. This presence illustrates the sometimes unknown role of rural areas as places of retirement or residence for influential personalities of the time. Protected elements, such as moat and bridge, also suggest a potentially defensive or seigneurial origin, although sources do not specify their initial function.

In administrative terms, the farm is listed in the Mérimée base under the code Insee 77121 attached to the arrondissement of Melun in Île-de-France. Its approximate address, 1 Lamirault at Croissy-Beaubourg, and GPS location indicate a precision deemed "a priori satisfactory" (level 6/10). No information is available on its current access to the public, whether it be visits, rentals or accommodation.
