The Château d'Écouen, an architectural jewel of the French Renaissance, built for the Constable Anne de Montmorency between 1539 and 1555 and which belonged to the Condé family from the end of the 17th century onwards, had a fate far removed from the splendour of the seigneurial residence after the Revolution.

It housed a school for the young girls of the Legion of Honour: an institution created by Napoleon in 1806, who designated the Château d'Écouen to host it.

Thus, from the first Napoleonic imperial house, directed by Madame Campan (1807-1814), to the first branch of the second period, which lasted more than 100 years (1851-1962), this book proposes to highlight the imprints left on the monument by this occupation and to evoke the memory of those who spent their youth there.
