Property Caillebotte
About This Museum
Tucked away in Yerres, just a stone's throw from Paris, the Caillebotte Property feels less like a formal museum and more like stepping directly into the artist's world. This was the country estate where Gustave Caillebotte, that celebrated painter of Parisian boulevards, spent his formative summers and created some of his most intimate works. The magic here is how the house, gardens, and river all feel frozen in time, preserving the atmosphere that so inspired him. It’s a place that tells a deeply personal story of art, family, and leisure in 19th-century France.
Collection Highlights
Beyond his famous boating and bathing scenes painted right here on the property, you'll find his lesser-known passion for philately and his magnificent yacht designs. The real highlight, though, is seeing his paintings hung in the very rooms where he lived, with the same light falling through the windows.
Visitor Information
Don't just stay indoors—the true joy is wandering the vast parkland. You can stroll past the little island on the Yerres River he so often painted or simply find a bench and soak in the same tranquil views.
Architecture & Building
It's a graceful, butter-yellow 18th-century manor house, what locals would call a 'maison de maître', sitting serenely within an English-style landscape garden.
