Located in the heart of the beautiful Caillebotte estate, notable for its immense park, the Maison Caillebotte stands out for its large white colonnades: reopened to the public in 2017, it's the perfect opportunity to discover the home of the famous Impressionist painter, Gustave Caillebotte.

In 2017, the reopening of the Maison Caillebotte in Yerres was the talk of the town: and with good reason, it took some twenty years of renovation work before the house reopened its doors. This artist's house now welcomes the public all year round to discoverGustave Caillebotte's studio, the richly decorated salons, the dining room and the master bedroom of the painter's parents, who owned the entire house and grounds.

The tour takes you into the intimate world of the Caillebotte family: Célestre Daufresne and Martial Caillebotte, the parents, Gustave, Martial, Alfred and René, the four sons. It's an opportunity to discover this typical 19th-century building, where the famous Impressionist painter lived from 1860 to 1879 and painted some 580 pictures and drawings, some of which hang in the house.

The imposing, immaculate Palladian columns on the front of the house can be seen from the Parc Caillebotte, an immense 11-hectare green setting. Designed by Frédéric Borel, they are characteristic of the building and overlook the park from the master bedroom.
