Maison Caillebotte open weekend (23–25 May)

Maison Caillebotte in Yerres will welcome visitors over the May 23-25 holiday weekend, with access to the house on Friday and Saturday and to the grounds on Sunday, according to the site’s current visitor information. The estate, about 30 minutes from Paris by RER D, is one of the main places associated with Gustave Caillebotte’s life and work. The property’s website says the house is open in spring and summer from Tuesday to Sunday, 2 p.m. to 6:30 p.m., while the park is open every day and remains free to enter through May 31. Paris je t’aime listed the site in its May and June events roundup as a long-weekend outing near the capital. ### What is open during the May 23-25 weekend? Friday, May 23, and Saturday, May 24, fall on the estate’s regular house-opening days in 2026, with Maison Caillebotte open from 2 p.m. to 6:30 p.m., according to the official site. Sunday, May 25, also falls within the park’s daily opening schedule, and the grounds are listed as open from 9 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. through the end of May. (maisoncaillebotte.fr) The official site does not describe the weekend as a one-off special opening. It presents the dates as part of the estate’s current seasonal schedule, with the house closed only on Mondays and the park open every day. ### Why do visitors go to Maison Caillebotte? (maisoncaillebotte.fr) The Yerres estate says the house and garden belonged to the Caillebotte family between 1860 and 1879. During that period, the site says, Gustave Caillebotte practiced his art there and produced more than 80 paintings. The house is presented as a restored 19th-century family residence. (maisoncaillebotte.fr) The official description says visitors can see the dining room, salon, billiards room and the family bedroom, while the artist’s studio has been adapted as an exhibition room that regularly hosts works by Caillebotte and his contemporaries.

One is “Dominique Renson - Artiste et modèles” at the Orangerie, and the other is “La nature n’est pas un décor - De Monet aux artistes contemporains” at La Ferme Ornée. The site also lists guided park tours, boat and canoe rides, painting workshops, and visits linked to the vegetable garden and icehouse among its activities. (maisoncaillebotte.fr) The official pages do not state in the excerpts available whether each activity is scheduled specifically for May 23-25, so visitors would need to check the estate’s booking pages for session details.

The estate says visitors can take the RER D from Gare du Nord, Châtelet or Gare de Lyon toward Melun, get off at Yerres, and walk about seven minutes to the property. (maisoncaillebotte.fr) By car, the site says the trip takes about 35 minutes from Bercy and that three free parking lots serve the area, including the CEC lot, La Grange au bois car park and a city-center lot. ### What should visitors know before going? Maison Caillebotte says the visitor areas are accessible and that an electric shuttle vehicle is available by reservation or on request at reception, with three seats. (maisoncaillebotte.fr) The site also says adapted visitor information materials are available for visitors with visual impairments. The estate’s practical information page says the restaurant and tearoom are temporarily closed, though it notes that Yerres town center has other restaurants nearby. For the May 23-25 weekend, the official site remains the main source for house hours, park access and ticketing information. (maisoncaillebotte.fr)
