Parc de Bagatelle, once a royal hunting lodge, became a gathering spot for the French nobility in the 18th century. The estate was acquired by the Count of Artois in 1775, who built the Château de Bagatelle in 64 days under Queen Marie Antoinette's challenge. Over time, various owners expanded the estate, which was later purchased by the city in the early 20th century. It underwent restoration led by Jean-Claude-Nicolas Forestier into a botanical garden, which includes a renowned rose garden featuring over 1,200 rose varieties.
