Nothing to add to the description from Wikipedia, except that it is a peaceful place that charms with its elegance.

Villarceaux constitutes a unique ensemble: its 70 hectare park and its two castles (16th century manor and 18th century castle). The estate has existed since the 11th century.

The Château de Théméricourt, probably built by Philippe de Théméricourt in the second half of the 15th century, has retained its initial plan with two main buildings arranged at right angles and flanked by four turrets topped with pepperbox roofs. This square plan responds to the concern of rejecting common areas in isolated buildings. The north and west facades of the castle have retained their original, very severe appearance. They contrast greatly with those opening onto the park, which, apart from the central turret, remain marked by classicism. The castle park has evolved greatly since the 18th century. The French garden was succeeded, it seems in the middle of the 19th century, by a park with a pond fed by the Aubette de Meulan.

Mansion dating from the 16th century, which retains external signs of the feudalism of the previous period with the presence of towers, closed perimeter walls. The two pepperbox-capped towers frame a cart gate and a pedestrian gate. The whole is affirmed by a dominating and defensive side. The Château de Moussy housed the German general staff in 1943 and was damaged, like the neighboring church, by a bombardment in 1944. above the main entrance is a characteristic addition. The property listed in the Inventory is private and cannot be visited.

Built in the 1920s, this distillery produced beet alcohol for the chemical industry or the pharmacy, and sometimes also for local consumption... During the Second World War, the alcohol was used to run Parisian buses, so in fuel shortage. The Germans having installed a military battery there, it was the site of a violent battle to ensure the liberation of Paris. The activity of the distillery stopped in 1952. It was then used as a setting in several films including "Diabolically yours" by Julien Duvivier with Alain Delon in 1967, and "36 quai des orfèvres" by Olivier Marchal. In 1973, the building hosted the entire crew of the film "The Adventures of Rabbi Jacob", directed by Gérard Oury. But only one outdoor scene was shot there, and the silhouette of the building only appears once at the beginning of the film. Abandoned, having even served as a landfill, it was recently renovated to be transformed into a dwelling and a reception area.
