The Château de Bagatelle (French pronunciation: [ʃato baɡatɛl]) in Paris is a Neoclassical-style château with several French formal gardens, a rose garden and an orangerie. It is set on 59 acres (24 hectares) of grounds in French landscape style within the Bois de Boulogne, which is located in the 16th arrondissement of Paris.

The château also became famous as a reference point for the duel scene in the affaire: An Incident at the Opera Ball on Mardi Gras in 1778.
