Saint Germain Palace

Castle of Saint-Germain-en-Laye
France, Paris
The castle, which once served as a royal residence, is located in the French town of Saint-Germain-en-Laye, thirty kilometers from Paris. From the "great terrace" of the palace, built in the 16th century for King Francis I, in clear weather, you can see the Eiffel Tower. Throughout its centuries-old history, the castle was destroyed and rebuilt more than once. It is worth noting that the regular garden laid out here was one of the first in France. Now within the walls of the Saint-Germain Palace there is an archaeological museum.

One of the pleasant memories is a visit to the town of Saint-Germain-en-Laye and the castle of the same name, located near Paris. It was built in the 16th century for King Francis I. Here was the country residence of the French kings and Louis XIV was born. To date, it houses the Museum of National Archeology, the Claude Debussy Museum dedicated to the famous French composer, who was born in Saint-Germain-en-Laye, as well as the Monastic Museum. But even if you do not visit museums, there is still something to enjoy.
