Description:
The chateau was originally built by Francois de Bonne, Duke of Lesdiguieres, who was one of the most powerful nobles in France during the reign of King Henry IV. The chateau was later purchased by Claude Perier, a wealthy banker and politician, in the late 18th century. Perier added a number of embellishments to the chateau, including a grand salon and a magnificent staircase.

The Parc Vizille, which surrounds the chateau, was designed in the 18th century by the landscape architect Antoine de Reiset. The park covers over 100 hectares and features a number of formal gardens, fountains, and ponds. One of the most impressive features of the park is the Grand Canal, which is over 600 meters long and was used for boating and skating during the winter months.

In the 19th century, the chateau and park became a popular destination for artists and writers, including Stendhal and Victor Hugo. The estate was also the site of several important historical events, including the signing of the Treaty of Grenoble in 1802, which ended the War of the Second Coalition between France and Austria.

Today, the Chateau and Parc Vizille is open to the public and is one of the most popular tourist attractions in the region. Visitors can explore the chateau and its many rooms, including the grand salon, the chapel, and the former bedrooms of Claude Perier and his family. The park is also open to visitors, who can wander through the formal gardens, enjoy a picnic by the Grand Canal, or take a leisurely stroll through the woods.
