To the west of Paris, a castle watches over the Seine, rooted in the forest and in history. The Château de Saint-Germain-en-Laye represents a thousand years of power, art, and architecture.

Birthplace of kings, hunting lodge, fortress, Renaissance palace, it became the cradle of classicism before being transformed into a museum, the National Archaeology Museum, inaugurated by Napoleon III.

At the heart of the château is a jewel: the palatine chapel. A masterpiece of Rayonnant Gothic architecture, bathed in light, it inspired the Sainte-Chapelle in Paris.

The castle was also a theater of war, splendor, and abandonment. Then resurrection.

Today, it houses the National Archaeology Museum and preserves the memory of peoples and stones.

A place of contrasts, between past grandeur and present vitality. A living monument, facing the ephemeral.

Welcome to the history of architecture in all its majesty.
