Situato a 40 minuti dal centro di Parigi, Château de Villette è uno dei più notevoli castelli di Francia, classificato come monumento storico dal 1942 dal governo francese. Immerso in un parco boschivo di 75 ettari, con due laghi, una magnifica fontana a cascata, una serra e un'aranciera, per non parlare degli interni incredibilmente sontuosi, Chateau de Villette incarna l'eleganza, il lusso e la famosa espressione francese "art de vivre". Originariamente progettato dall'architetto François Mansart per il conte di Aufflay e successivamente completato dal suo pronipote, Jules Hardouin-Mansart, architetto capo di Luigi XV, che nello stesso periodo supervisionò anche la costruzione del Castello di Versailles. Allo stesso modo, lo splendido giardino del Castello di Villette è stato progettato da André Le Nôtre, che ha anche creato i famosi giardini del Castello di Versailles. Per questo si è guadagnato il nome di Le Petit Versailles (la piccola Versailles).
Storicamente, il 18° è considerato il periodo di massimo splendore di Château de Villette. I proprietari di Château de Villette dell'epoca, Sophie de Grouchy, un'importante padrona di casa, e suo marito, il marchese de Condorcet, invitavano a Château de Villette i principali intellettuali come Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin e Thomas Paine. In epoca moderna, Château de Villette è stato il rifugio di molte celebrità come John Travolta, Tom Cruise e Lenny Kravitz. È stato fonte di ispirazione per Dan Brown, che ha scritto il "Codice da Vinci" durante il suo soggiorno nel castello e in seguito è stato utilizzato come location per le riprese del suo adattamento.

Quick answers about how Plush74 works.
Plush74 is a curated marketplace for film, photo and event locations across Europe. Clients browse thousands of handpicked spaces, like villas, lofts, studios and event venues, search by description or reference image, chat directly with the location owner, and book through the platform. Location owners can list their space, receive booking requests, and manage everything through their own dashboard.
Search using filters, a text description, or a reference image. Save the ones you like, then send a chat request straight to the owner. You can message several locations and manage every conversation from one inbox. Once you agree on dates and price, Plush74 handles the contract and payment, and you'll see the booking move through simple status steps. Browsing and chatting is free for clients.
Three steps: apply on our listing page and pay a one-time €74 onboarding fee, our team personally reviews your submission for quality, and once approved you get a dashboard to upload photos, set your price and go live. Clients then contact you directly through chat. Plush74 only takes a commission when a booking actually happens. No booking, no fee. There's no monthly subscription.
Each owner sets their own rental rate. Plush74 doesn't fix prices. Rates are usually shown and booked as a day rate, with a standard day counted as 10 hours and extra time billed as overtime. Prices are shown in the location's local currency (EUR or CHF) and are net, excluding VAT where applicable. Always confirm the exact rate and what's included in your quote.
To protect our locations' privacy, listings are shown under a working name and a general area (city and country) only, never the exact street address, until a booking is confirmed. This lets owners stay discoverable without exposing their address to everyone browsing. Once your request becomes a confirmed booking, the full address and details are shared in your booking confirmation and contract.
For general questions, email yeah@plush74.com. The team reads every message. You can also call +49 30 7001 6966, available 09:00-18:00 CET, Monday to Friday. If you're a location owner with a listing question, use members@plush74.com instead. There's also a Contact page with all these details.
There are two main paths: a free client account for anyone looking to find and book a location (browse, save favourites, chat with owners, track requests), and a member account for location owners who want to list a space (upload photos, set pricing, receive chat requests, manage bookings). Companies or agencies managing several locations apply the same way. You choose your path when you sign up.
On any listing page, scroll to the request form below the photos and fill in your name, email, phone, project, budget, team size and dates, plus a short message about your shoot. Click Send Request. The more detail you give, the faster our team can confirm availability. All requests are screened before a chat opens with the location.
