We truly enjoyed the Chateau de Malmaison. Not as spectacular as some chateaux, it had a more lived in appeal for us. We could almost imagine Napoleon and Josephine living here. The rooms and furnishings give a very livable impression yet are quite impressive.

Visited the chateau in the morning, and Versailles in the afternoon. Spectacular though it was at Versailles, enjoyed the chateau better. Very peaceful surroundings and a really interesting house, with such history and some surprising rooms! The gardens are lovely for a walk too, although not on the Versailles scale! Well worth a visit if you are in the area.

Spectacular Chateau de Malmaison. Part of our Viking Paris to Normandy cruise in September 2022. Absolutely beautiful. As I always suggest, please educate yourselves on the history of these sites prior to visiting to understand and enjoy / appreciate them to the fullest.

(Translated by Google) Very pleasant and very interesting 😉 (Original) Très agréable et très intéressant 😉

a small yet legendary chateau. a lot of history and interesting topics to encounter. the gardens outside are quite mesmerizing. best time to visit would be in May, when the roses are blooming...

Incredible experience that I am not about to forget! If you go in May beginning June, the rose gardens are still in bloom and the fragrance is out of this world! The château itself is beautiful and getting in is stepping in history! You can smell amber and wood and it is just outstanding! Well done! The visit is a good 2h and for an extra euro you can visit the gardens/park. 10/10 👌🏻

A lovely place to stop by for the first free Sunday. Not overtly crowded and doesn’t take too long to walk through. The home has English translations for each room although a large placard upon hall entry describing the general history is not translated. There is an audioguide offer for €2 but decided to pass. Good preservation throughout. Make sure to see the black swans in the small pond at the back of the house.

Ticket price 6.50€ and the audio guide is also included. It's a cozy small palace that is extremely needed reinnovations. The garden didn't keep the interest. It could be more interesting because it was a home of Napoleon l and Josephine

Lovely little castle turned into a museum. Lots of personal items of Josephine and Napoleon giving insight into the lives of the people who shaped history.

It is absolutely worth the detour to see this little house owned by Josephine Bonaparte. With this visit you get to peak into the Bonaparte’s life. It has gorgeous gardens.

Although off the usual beaten path for most tourists, this museum was an absolute hidden gem and a highlight of my week in Paris. Anybody with an interest in Napoleon and Josephine should take the time to come see it. The care and attention to the history was remarkable. I felt the grounds, displays, and audioguide narration provided a much in-depth and closer feel into the Napoleonic era than I got at Les Invalides. Highly recommend anybody with an interest in Napoleonic history to visit.

Beautiful small castle. Josephine went to live when Napoleon divorced her. Now is closed. But when this quarantine finish , is one the interesting places to visit. Close to Paris

The castle is not so small as you could think of a castle in a suburban area. Important as Napoleon and Josephine were living here. And you find here one of the 5 paintings of Napoleon painteby Jaques Louis David. Aussi, les personnes qui y travaillent sont très gentils.

Chateau de Malmaison is the palace of Napoleon Bonaparte & his wife Josephine who died here at very young age. It is situated near Rueil Malmaison RER A. It's relatively on smaller scale compared to Louvre or Chateau de Vincennes or more eponymous Chateau de Versailles. However the art work & interiors you get to see are as good as any other palaces in & around Paris, especially the Chandelier, royal bed & furniture. The outer garden surrounding the museum is very beautiful where you can come for nice romantic or peaceful walk. The serene beauty of Chateau de Malmaison will have you captivated. There is a small entrance fee. You can reach this place by taking RER A to Rueil Malmaison & bus from station or bus 258 from La Defense. Totally recommended while you are in Paris.

Lovely little chateau. Gives a good view of the history and relationship between Napoleon and Josephine. Great collection of paintings.

I loved seeing this summer house of Josephine bonaparte and hearing the story of her life with Napoleon Bonaparte.

(Translated by Google) A good time in a rural setting in the middle of the city near Paris. Entrance is not too expensive; affordable. The castle is small but a beautiful collection on the life of Joséphine de Beauharnais! The reception is very good! Few crowds as COVID. (Original) Un bon moment dans un cadre champêtre en plein milieu de la ville proche de Paris. L’entrée n’est pas trop chère ; abordable. Le château est petit mais une belle collection sur la vie de Joséphine de Beauharnais ! L’accueil est très bien ! Peu de foule en tant de COVID .

(Translated by Google) Very warm welcome, very well organized visit. The castle can be visited in 40 minutes and remains interesting because of its human size. The park must be more interesting to visit in the spring. (Original) Très bon accueil, visite très bien organisée. Le château se visite en 40 minutes et reste intéressant de par sa taille humaine. Le parc doit être plus intéressant à visiter au printemps.

A good place to know alittle about the personal life of Josephine the greet Napoléon Bonaparte's wife

This was the house of Josephine and Napoleon. One can see the beautiful and incredible taste of Josephines. Beautiful pieces of art well preserved.

small estate of Josephine mainly and of N. Bonaparte partially. Go primarily to get an impression of the period around 1800. Interesting but not impressive. Tour was boring as it didn’t really retell the trivia of its famous inhabitants at the time as the setting might invite to do - it was more an extract of a history book.

It's worth the visit. Very interesting and peaceful. You should really do the guided tour. We had a very nice lady telling us all the details. A must do tour if your into Napoleon and Josephine's history.

Had a wonderful visit. Well preserved and off the beaten pass, this château was the Imperial Palace for Napoleon and Josephine. Di tmuss a walk through the gardens to see the black swans.

Sehr empfehlenswert. Ein schönes und gut restauriertes Schloss mit einer interessanten Ausstellung. Bei unserem Besuch wurde gerade wieder an der Außenfassade gearbeitet. Der Eintritt ist mit 6,50 Euro sehr gemäßigt, Parkplätze sind kostenlos. Hunde dürfen nicht auf das Gelände, aber das ist erwartbar und bei sehr vielen französischen Sehenswürdigkeiten so. Wir haben einen beschatteten Parkplatz gefunden.

It was very interesting to learn more about Josephine and Napoleon, and to see the room where Napoleon sold the Louisiana Purchase to America.

Nice chateau just outside PARIS. Learn the history of Napoleon.

A beautiful mansion and a mandatory visit for anybody who is interested in Napoleon Bonaparte

Mildly interesting castle with a small garden, where Napoleon & Josephine used to stay. The castle exhibits are entirely focused on them. Worth a visit if you are interested in Napoleon and his life. Otherwise, it's safe to skip this.

Very interesting. Our guide Carmen was great, she helped us learn all about Josephine and her March through history.

(Translated by Google) A splendid place of history all in delicacy (Original) Un splendide lieu d'histoire tout en délicatesse

Beautiful! Love the history of this Chateau. Love the grounds to walk around too.

As a visiting American, I’m not very familiar with French history. This Chateau is an excellent representation of late 1700 to early 1800 French design. Napoleon and his first wife Josephine’s story is so interesting and it is told so well at this Chateau. The only disappointing part was the grounds and gardens which were not well maintained. No explanation was given. Not crowded, personal tour devices in many languages available and the entry/shop attendant was particularly welcoming and helpful.

Take a guided tour when possible. Many things are original, but much of the furniture is not. Take time to tour the gardens for the chance to spot a peacock.

Rather interesting tour of Napoleon's home. Beautiful front garden. Loved the two obelisks in the back of the home.

The guided your is fantastic, but even walking through and reading the plaques is enough to fully enjoy this museum. The flowers were in bloom at the time of this review, and the smell of the roses, the colors, and the general ambience of the grounds is wonderful. There is a special treat of black swans in the rear of the gardens, and a secret tree hideaway! Come visit!

Chateau de Malmaison is the intimate residence of Empress Josephine. The design and gardens are very interesting and a pleasure to visit. The visit does not require a great investment of time, perhaps two hours at most.

An enjoyable afternoon at the Chateau.

Beautiful home of Josephine and Napoleon. The grounds were extremely well kept. The flower head were almost twice the size of any other flowers I have ever seen. The furniture in the house were lovely. Truly enjoyed the furnishings in the house.

(Translated by Google) I'm working on it (Original) J'y travaille

This was a wonderful window into the life of Josephine. The Chateau is furnished to give you a feel for that period. The garden was the highlight for me. Josephine loved nature and the layout of the gardens emphasize a natural environment. However my favorite thing was the black swans!

THE museum for those interested in the life of Napoleon. Surrounded by nice park.

Home of Napoleon and Josephine.Napplean signed off papers creating Switzerland in the study here It has his death mask, Josephine actually died there of a throat infection. They still have the bed

Josephine's Chateau. Just like the woman: elegant and very stylish. Enjoyed the visit. Off the beaten tourist track, highly recommended

(Translated by Google) Superb place dedicated to the memory of the Emperor and the Empress. Very well presented and maintained inside and out. We imagine ourselves in the privacy of the owners with the dishes and furniture. Museum to visit at least once in your life when you are interested in the History of France. (Original) Superbe lieu dédié à la mémoire de l'Empereur et de l'Impératrice. Très bien présenté et entretenu intérieur comme extérieur.

(Translated by Google) The castle was the residence of the young General Bonaparte, and later the consul Napoleon, with his first wife, Josephine. After Napoleon became emperor and repudiated her, it remained her residence, so the current museum reflects more on her, her children, her legacy. However, the general's office has been preserved, restored to its original form, absolutely impressive when you think that the strategies that amazed the world were born there and that are still studied today at military academies. A pleasant visit for history buffs. (Original) Castelul a fost resedinta tanarului general Bonaparte, si mai târziu consulul Napoleon, cu prima lui soție, Josephine. După ce Napoleon a devenit împărat și repudiat-o, a rămas resedinta ei, de aceea muzeul actual o reflectă mai mult pe ea, copiii ei, mostenirea ei. S-a păstrat totuși biroul generalului, restaurat la forma originală, absolut impresionant când te gândești ca acolo s-au nascut strategiile care au uimit lumea si care se studiază și azi la academiile militare. O vizita plăcută pentru pasionații de istorie.

All the staff was very friendly. and garden was so nice \o/ for sure I will visit again

Very interesting chateau bought by Josephine for herself and Napoleon. There is no air conditioning and it can get very warm inside especially when travelling with a group. The gardens were refreshing.

(Translated by Google) Magnificent castle, you can hear the footsteps and whispers of Napoleon and Josephine. The only downside this castle is very poorly indicated. Thanks to the prefecture which opposes it. (Original) Magnifique château.On entend les pas et les murmures de Napoléon et de Joséphine. Le seul bémol ce château est très mal indiqué.

(Translated by Google) Very pretty castle, lots of explanations on the history of Napoleon, Joséphine, you can learn a lot of things there. The garden is not very big but very beautiful too. The part with the plants named on small signs is very good to discover the species cultivated there. On the other hand, some signs would be useful to find your way around the garden, also on the distributed map, it would be useful to indicate how to get to the temple of love for example (we could not go there). There are on the map, all the species explained, the kinds of roses etc but it would be good to indicate a small route in order to find your way in the garden. It is also very poorly indicated to leave the castle. No sign, nothing indicates that you have to push the large gate to exit when no one is at the cash desk at the entrance. The staff are quite friendly, even if the person in his little cabin at the entrance could be a little more proactive, I had to take the handset of the phone myself to speak with the lady who manages the reservations, a slightly abnormal ... Besides, I had booked to visit but my response to the schedule by email was not taken into account, fortunately the lady was able to fit us on the next schedule but hey, it's missing a little serious ... (Original) Très joli château, beaucoup d'explications sur l'histoire de Napoléon, Joséphine, on y apprend beaucoup de choses. Le jardin n'est pas très grand mais très beau aussi. La partie avec les plantes nommées sur des petites pancartes est très bien pour découvrir les espèces cultivées là. En revanche quelques panneaux seraient utiles pour se repérer dans le jardin, également sur le plan distribué, il serait utile d'indiquer comment aller jusqu'au temple de l'amour par exemple (nous n'avons pas pu y aller). Il y a sur le plan, toutes les espèces expliquées, les sortes de roses etc mais il serait bien d'indiquer un petit parcours afin de se repérer dans le jardin. C'est très mal indiqué aussi pour sortir du château. Aucun écriteau, rien n'indique qu'il faut pousser la grande grille pour sortir quand plus personne n'est à la caisse à l'entrée. Le personnel est assez aimable, même si la personne dans sa petite cabane à l'entrée pourrait montrer un peu plus de proactivité, j'ai du prendre le combiné du téléphone moi meme pour m'entretenir avec la dame qui gère les réservations, un peu anormal ... D'ailleurs j'avais réservé pour visiter mais ma réponse à l'horaire par mail n'a pas été prise en compte, heureusement la dame a pu nous caser sur l'horaire suivant mais bon, ça manque un peu de sérieux ...
