🏰 Chateau de Saint-Germain-en-Laye

🌳The Chateau de Saint-Germain-en-Laye, a royal palace located in the western suburbs of Paris, is now home to the National Archaeological Museum of France, the Musée d'Archeologie Nationale. The castle was originally constructed in 1122, but the oldest existing structure dates back to 1539. 🌳In 1638, King Louis XIV of France was born on this site. After the Glorious Revolution in England in 1688, the former King James II of England took refuge and lived here for 13 years. It became the National Archaeological Museum in 1867. The Treaty of Saint-Germain was signed here between the Allied Powers and the Republic of Austria in 1919. During the German occupation from 1940 to 1944, the castle served as the headquarters of the German forces in France. 🌳Whether you're exploring its historic castle and museum or enjoying the peaceful forests and beautiful gardens, you'll find your own delight here. #Travel #Paris #ParisLife #FranceParis #France #CulturalLandmarks #MyTravelDiary #SpontaneousTrip
