THE SARGENT TABLE

There was a time when John Singer Sargent would leave Paris for the Chevreuse Valley.
He came to Château de Méridon to visit his muse, Margaret Stuyvesant Rutherfurd White, and her husband Henry, who then lived at the château.

Sargent was also a close friend of Claude Monet; the two painters inspired each other throughout their lives, and Sargent was a welcome guest at Giverny. One likes to imagine that Monet, in turn, came to find him at Méridon*.
In these same rooms, Ambassador Henry White wrote to Theodore Roosevelt.


THE SARGENT TABLE CARRIES THAT HOSPITALITY FORWARD.



A few times a year, a dozen guests gather at Méridon for a delicious treat, a friend of the house, and a story the château never told before.

Seats are offered by personal invitation only.

*Méridon's archives were scattered long ago.
Piece by piece, we are recovering its lost memories, and each Sargent Table shares one of them for the first time.
