Origin and history

The house Garrot, also known as Château de Périgny-le-Petit, was built in the 3rd quarter of the 17th century in Périgny, Île-de-France. In 1654, Claude Garrot, receiver of the records of the requests of the Palais, acquired a small house surrounded by a large garden on the main crossroads of the village. Between 1654 and 1659, he built in his place a large house composed of a central house body flanked by two side pavilions. Although the façades were redesigned in the 19th century, the building retains original elements, such as a wooden staircase with balusters and the interior distribution of the 17th century.

The park houses ancient remains, including a basin margin and pottery pipes dating back to the 11th or 12th centuries. Before the 16th century, the site was known as the Jean de Rueil Hotel. Major reconstruction took place in the 17th century, marked by elements dated as a chimney plate bearing the year 1659. Subsequent changes include the addition of two entrance pavilions between 1786 and 1790, as well as changes between 1790 and 1810, such as the demolition of a south-east wing and the unaligned reconstruction of a north-west wing.

Classified as a Historic Monument by order of 30 April 1998, the Garrot House protects its facades, roofs and interior staircase. Its garden partially retains its original layout, bearing witness to its architectural and landscape evolution throughout the centuries. The sources also mention an approximate location at the address 2 place of General de Gaulle, in Val-de-Marne.
