Les caves du nord - Maisons-Laffitte

Highlight • Historical Site

The North gate (Caves du Nord) which must be taken to go to the forest, remains the only one of the 2 gates still standing, in fact there were 2 gates.
It was the royal entrance that the king used to get to the castle when he arrived from Saint-Germain en Laye.
Brief history…
1658
The castle and its lands became a marquisate and René de Longueil obtained authorization from Louis XIV to close the castle park. Built between 1659 and 1670 by François Mansart, the building must be both monumental and protective in order to welcome the King during these hunts in Saint-Germain-en-Laye.
It was a set made up of two gates, South and North, and 6 pavilions distributed on either side of the central ditches.

Maisons-Laffitte Castle

Highlight • Castle

From the Pont de Maison-Lafitte, you can see the castle in the distance, at the bottom of its garden. On the other side, we discover the main entrance with its golden gates. A real architectural nugget!
