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. You can appreciate the beauty of the chapel of Sainte-Chapelle, made in the Gothic style, as well as the courtyard. In front of the castle there is a magnificent park with an English garden, ideal for leisurely walks and relaxation.
Next to the park is a terrace - a masterpiece of the architect André Le Nô tre, 2400 meters long and 30 meters wide, which offers a breathtaking view of the Seine, the western part of Paris and the Dé fense district. On weekends, a lot of families with children walk here, arranging picnics. It is easy to get here from Paris.
