Saint-Germain-en-Laye

Saint-Germain-en-Laye main attraction is its castle and terrace designed by Le Nôtre. It is one of the most beautiful residences of the kings of France. Oak trees, dating to the reign of Louis XIV can be seen in the forest, that stretches over 3500 hectares.

The Old Castle was built at the request of François 1er by Pierre Chambiges, who used the foundations of a pentagon-shaped fortress built in the fourteenth century by Charles V.

Louis XIV made it his residence in Saint-Germain-en-Laye from 1666 to 1681. Saint-Germain-en-Laye became the de facto seat of government of the kingdom. The general configuration of the city center dates from this period.

Today, it houses a National Museum of Archaeology.
