In November 1874, Gustave Bouchereau (1835–1900), Gustave Lolliot (1840–1882) and Valentin Magnan (1835–1916) bought the castle of Suresnes who belonged to the widow of Louis-Marc Chabrier Lic (1783–1804). The latter was the oil lamp's concessionaire and the director of the “Théâtre des Variétés” in Paris. Ours buyers founded a company that aims to create and operate a health house for mental and nervous diseases in this property located in the municipality of Suresnes. This establishment received free residents and mentally ill patients in two separate parts. It is thus becoming one of the eleven private asylums who were able to hospitalize ill patients by decision of the prefect of police in the department of the Seine like the public institutions of insane. It was opened following the 1870 war. Also, his creation occurred in a context of the dislocation in the economic conditions and the functioning of the post-war psychiatric institutions (the marked congestion of the asylums and the services of alienated, the inability to transfer patients to the provinces by refusal of families, the impossibility of early admission of patients who were in psychiatric care under duress or not but without being in asylum) and in the professional vicissitudes experienced by G. Bouchereau and V. Magnan at the Central Admission Office. Famous patients by their names, their fame and their fortune were hospitalized in this establishment. The most famous of them was Adèle Hugo (1830–1915). It was renovated after the First World War. Alfred Fillassier (1871–1953) who was the director at that time and also Magnan's son-in-law called on the most famous architects such as Pierre Lahalle (1877–1956), Georges Octave Levard (1887–1977) and Maurice Lucet (1877–1941). Almost 100 years, many doctors worked there as psychiatrist or not: Jules-Albert Baronnet, Aimable-Clovis Crété, Jean Durand-Saladin, Félix Guillot, Gabriel Jacques, Socrates Lalou, Léon Pruvost, Jules Renaux, Léon Revertégat, Jean-Maurice Sardain, Jacques Tison and Honoré Saury. In 1953, the management returned to Magnan's grandson Jean-Noël Péron-Magnan (1898–1967) and then his great-grandson: Pierre Noël Péron-Magnan (1924–2013). As it approaches its centennial, this health house closed down definitively in 1973.
