Today the Chateau de la Damette is subdivided into apartments which may be leased out. In the 19th century the Chateau de la Damette was a popular gathering site for French chemists to share recent findings. It is alleged that the first ingot of aluminum produced by Deville {LINK: ParisF440} was not cast in Paris, but actually in Iriginy at the Chateau de la Damette, probably in 1854.
