Gros-Terme, an estate near Laimont (Meuse, France), was acquired by Paul Mémie Roussel in 1832 through his marriage to Marie Félicité Couchot, who had herself inherited the land, house, and farm buildings from her uncle. Roussel signicantly enlarged and enhanced the property, some of which dated back to the 18th century or earlier, over his lifetime, adding gardens, greenhouses, a chalet, etc. The property was left to a relative of Marie Roussel upon Paul Roussel's death, and was sold upon that heir's death in 1905.
