“ | This house is built like a fortress. | ” |
—Gabriel, "Simon Says" |
The Agreste mansion is the residence of the Agreste family accommodated by Nathalie Sancoeur and Placide I.T..
Appearance[]
Exterior[]
The Agreste mansion is at least four stories tall and has a basement. On the outside, it is tan and cream with black shingles on the roof. The first two stories are cream and tan, except for the right side of the house, which is covered in ivy. Two domed roofs are on the third story, the space between them having more interior room. The fourth floor is a large attic. At the very top of the house is a cupola. The windows are mostly vertically long, and they have white panes.
The front of the house is surrounded by a large fence, preventing people from getting into the large courtyard. This fence does not prevent people from looking into Adrien's room. There is a garage on the lower right at the front of the house. There also appear to be doors on the inside right and left of the walls. Awnings are covering these doors, and the doors do not lead to the outside of the walls.
The back of the house has a large wall of windows on the second floor, looking into Adrien's room. There is also a small backyard.
During an emergency, the house can go on lockdown, and metal will shield the windows and walls from the attack. The front gate will also be reinforced.
First floor[]
On the main floor and many of the rooms, the walls are mainly white with sections of gray marble and black details. Large cylindrical lights hang from the ceiling. The floor is white, but in some places, it has secluded black designs that resemble peacock designs, and in other places, there are black and white patterns.
The front of the mansion opens into a large foyer with a huge white staircase directly ahead of the entrance. Red plants are placed on each side of the front door, and pictures hang on some of the gray marble sections. Above the back of the staircase is a large framed photo of Gabriel and Adrien.
There is a door on the right side of the stairs on the first floor, and there is a sitting area to the left of the stairs. The door on the right leads to the kitchen.
There are several rooms in the Agreste mansion, some of which have not been seen yet. Inside on the first floor is Gabriel's atelier, a large dining room.
Some of the walls in the dining room have black and white vertical stripes, while a section of the floor is deeper and wooden. The dining room includes a large wooden rectangular table surrounded by dark brown chairs with white cushions. A bronze candelabra is placed towards one end of the table. There are also long vertical windows with tan curtains, and tall dark gray trim on the walls. Above a white and silver fireplace in the room is a large portrait on the wall with Gabriel, Emilie, and Adrien. To the right of the fireplace is a framed painting, and on the opposing wall from the fireplace is a white ledge, where a black and gold clock is set, and a huge mirror with a bronze detailed frame.
Second floor[]
The second floor is mainly Adrien's room. Both doors beside the painting above the stairs from the first floor lead to the room. The stairs leading off the sides of Adrien's room loop around to an indoor balcony above the entrance.
There are two rooms off the left and right staircases on the second floor, directly above the atelier and dining room.
The room on the right of the staircase leads to Nathalie's room.
Third floor[]
A third floor's windows can be seen in many episodes depicting the outside of the mansion. It is currently not known what rooms it houses or how it is accessible.
The Crypt[]
The Crypt is a garden located beneath the foyer as seen in "Re-creation.
It is a large room with an arched ceiling, barely lit by lights along the sidewalls and what appears to be a beam of sunlight from a skylight. A catwalk extends the length of the room down the middle. The far end of the room appears to have a tree growing from the floor below, and the main wall at that end features a design identical to the "butterfly window" in Gabriel's lair.
At the end of the catwalk is a circular platform covered in greenery; grass covers the floor, bushes and flora decorate the platform, and what appear to be trees snake across as well as underneath the platform. A green glow emanates from underneath the platform where Emilie Agreste is held in a glass-covered cryogenic pod.
As revealed in "Queen Wasp", Gabriel accesses this room via the same secret passage from his atelier that he uses to get to Gabriel's lair.
Gabriel's lair[]
Gabriel's lair is a room or observatory located inside the Agreste mansion. Gabriel Agreste/Hawk Moth/Shadow Moth/Monarch stores many white butterflies that, once corrupted, become akumas, which he uses to akumatize his victims.
The room is large, dome-like, and dark when Hawk Moth/Shadow Moth/Monarch is not using an akuma. It has a large window with a butterfly (or flower) design that opens whenever Hawk Moth/Shadow Moth/Monarch plans to send an akuma to a person who feels strong negative emotions. In the far back of the room, a circular shape is on the ground, on which Gabriel stands on to travel from the Agreste mansion to his lair.
Once a villain gets defeated, the window closes, encasing the room in darkness once again.
It is connected to Gabriel's atelier in the Agreste mansion by a pathway. In the portrait of Emilie Agreste, there is a pattern of buttons Gabriel presses to get to the lair.

Trivia[]
- During season 1, the Eiffel Tower is sometimes depicted as being behind the mansion, and being able to be seen from Adrien's room. However, starting from season 2, it's depicted in its correct location.
- Interestingly, it's depicted behind it in "Stormy Weather 2", as the shot seems to have been reused from "The Bubbler".
- The front door camera is similar to Jabba the Hutt's Palace in Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi.
- The residents can get room service, as seen in "Ladybug & Cat Noir" when Adrien has Camembert delivered to his room for Plagg.
- An instance of the mansion going into emergency lockdown is seen in "Simon Says".
- After the destruction of the Order of the Guardians and their temple, this is the only location at which all Miraculouses from the Chinese Miracle Box have been at the same time. This has happened two times, the first time in "Party Crasher", during the boys-only party, and the second time in "Strikeback", after Félix gave Gabriel the Miraculouses from Ladybug's yo-yo.
