Origin and history

The House of Florists is a building located in Rueil-Malmaison, in the Hauts-de-Seine department (92). This building is an integral part of the National Estate of Malmaison Castle, a historical and architectural complex of national importance. Its inclusion in this field was formalized by Decree No. 2022-906 of 17 June 2022, which also classified its interior parts as historical monuments.

Although the details of its specific history are limited, this house is located on the Avenue of Empress Eugénie (or Josephine according to the sources), an emblematic location linked to French imperial history. The Domaine de Malmaison, to which it belongs, is a place full of history, notably associated with Napoleon Bonaparte and his wife Josephine, who resided there.



In Rueil-Malmaison, as in other cities in the Île-de-France region, historic houses and buildings often reflect the architectural and social evolution of the 19th and 20th centuries. Buildings linked to imperial or aristocratic domains, such as this one, bear witness to the influence of elites on local heritage. Their preservation allows us to understand the cultural and political dynamics that shaped this region, particularly during the Empire and later periods.



Today, the Florist House, as part of the Malmaison National Estate, enjoys enhanced legal protection. This classification guarantees the preservation of its architecture and its interior elements, while allowing the public access to a heritage linked to the history of France. However, the practical information on his visit or current use (rent, guest rooms) is not specified in the available sources.
