Description

The Château de Longchamp is a pavilion located in the Bois de Boulogne, west of Paris, between the racecourse of the same name (to the south) and the Bagatelle playing fields (to the north). Built in the middle of the 19th century by Gabriel Davioud at the request of Baron Haussmann, it was then successively inhabited by Alfred Chauchard, then François Coty, who had it razed with a view to a reconstruction in the 1930s, the work on which was completed after the Second World War. It belongs today to the city of Paris and has housed the Centre international de l'enfance, and since 2015 the GoodPlanet foundation.
