Description

Un vasto terreno suburbano, ampio il doppio dell'attuale estensione del parco, era stato acquistato nel 1769 dal duca di Chartres, per costruirvi una folie, inizialmente al centro di un giardino alla francese.

Nel 1773 il duca affidò a Louis Carrogis Carmontelle l'architettura di un pays d'illusions, popolando il parco di padiglioni eclettici, secondo la moda esotica del giardino anglo-cinese del tempo: vi sorsero così, disseminati tra boschetti e sentieri labirintici, le rovine di un tempio di Marte e quelle di un castello gotico, un minareto, una fattoria svizzera, un mulino olandese, una piramide egizia, una pagoda cinese, una tenda tartara, e vi furono creati due ruscelli che alimentavano un laghetto artificiale circondato da colonne corinzie, la Naumachia. Fino alla rivoluzione il Parc Monceau fu uno dei punti di ritrovo preferiti del bel mondo, sede di feste, spettacoli e vita lussuosissimi.
