Saint-Germain-en-Laye, a royal town
Louis XIV was born on 5 September 1638 at the Château de Saint-Germain-en-Laye, where Napoleon III founded what is now the National Archaeology Museum in 1867. The national estate, 40 hectares of gardens by André Le Nôtre awarded the “Jardin remarquable” (remarkable garden) label, overlooks the Seine from the Grande Terrasse, built from 1669 to 1674, and borders a state forest of about 3,500 hectares.

The National Archaeology Museum is open from 10:00 to 17:00, except on Tuesdays, 1 January, 1 May and 25 December; suitcases are not allowed inside, so your chauffeur keeps them in the vehicle. The estate is freely accessible, from 8:00 to 20:30 depending on the season.
