Standing before Brou-sur-Chantereine, you’re not just in any suburb of Paris, you’re in a place full of history and stories. Brou, as it was once known, stretches back to the 13th century. It was a collection of three small villages: Brou, La Villeneuve-aux-Anes, and La Forest. It wasn’t just a place to live back then, it was also a place of faith. A church was built, a Mathurin convent set up. The village grew, gaining more residents over the years. It didn’t escape the attention of the powerful, either. The Feydeau family, known for their roles in the Parisian parliament, took hold of Brou and its surrounding lands in 1608, eventually building a grand chateau. It became a symbol of their high position in society. You can still see this chateau today, standing proud and stately, a reminder of the village’s past.
