"Henri Marcel Dionis du Séjour (1842-1915), son of Alexandre Pierre Dionis du Séjour (1796-1862), was a director of the Banque de France. The Dionis du Séjour family has been part of the nobility since the 18th century, following its first ennoblement in 1698 by the échevinage of Paris". (CGB). A listed example, auctioned by iNumis in 2006 and by CGB in 2018, each time sold for its weight in gold.
The Château de Grignon was purchased in 1826 by Charles X, who founded the Institut Royale Agronomique de Grignon to train agricultural engineers, who were welcomed in 1828 by the first director Auguste Bella. The name of the school changed with the regimes: Ecole Régionale d'Agriculture under the Second Republic, Ecole Impériale d'Agriculture under the Second Empire, Ecole Nationale d'Agriculture under the Third Republic, then Ecole Nationale Supérieure d'Agronomie de Grignon (ENSAG) from 1960. The latter merged with the Institut National Agronomique in Paris to become the Institut National Agronomique Paris-Grignon (INA P-G). A final merger took place in 2007 with ENGREF in Nancy and ENSIA in Massy to become the school known today as AgroParisTech.
