Rambouillet forest

We begin this trip with a visit to the park of Rambouillet , with the cave of two lovers, the cottage, the Dairy Queen, the sheepfold, the pheasant and the castle.

Namely: in 768, Pepin the short supply of forest Yveline at the Abbey of St Denis. The fortified castle, built in 1370 to advise him of Charles V, then bought by Regnault of Angennes in 1384, was burned during the Hundred Years War. Restored and complete with a park, it hosts the first Francis who died in 1547. The castle then known several owners: the family of the fact Angennes beautify the interior (1556); the Fleuriau Armenonville are digging channels (1699), Count of Toulouse, son of Louis XIV, doubled the number of apartments to accommodate the court, with the addition of new main building. He ditches and remove drawbridges (1704), his son, the Duke of Penthievre, sold the castle to Louis XVI in 1783. The latter is planting exotic trees in the park. The Earl of Angiviller became governor. Napoleon decided to renovate the castle in 1804 and arrange an appointment in hunting. In 1810, he added by the architect Auguste Farmin, a dining room, bedroom and bathroom of Pompeian style. The apartment of the emperor is linked to that of the Empress by a long balcony. In addition, the city became sub prefecture in 1811, before being invaded by the Prussians in 1815 and 1870. Under the leadership of Felix Faure, the castle became a presidential residence in 1896.

Leaving the park, we look back at the hotel bailiwick, now mayor. (Under Louis XIV, the city paid the kingdom 1000Frs annual fee for storing their corn). We remember, in the corner of the old coaching inn castle (the king lived there gondoliers channels of the park). Then we head towards the forest, passing near the grid Versailles. Brickworks Road leads to the small pond Gruyer . Since last we reach that of the throat Cup, then we head north. Along the way, is a marker emblazoned , a relic of medieval times. At the crossroads of the head of a lark, we turn to them for Bréviaires see the National Stud.

Namely: Bréviaires The data are at the Abbey of Clairefontaine by Louis VII in 1177. In 1267, Robert of Dreux, Count of Montfort, says his lordship to his cousin, William Beaumont. The area later returned to St Germain Aubert, Lord Dessessart, which sells in 1492 to John of Angennes, lord of Rambouillet. The church was rebuilt in the 12th-16th. In 1686, the territory is disrupted by the digging ditches to supply the pond Perray and those of St Hubert and Holland. Land Drainage promote the expansion of agriculture. Then, the church was enlarged during the 18th, at the request of the Duke of Penthievre. But in 1830, considered too big, its nave was destroyed by the municipality. The castle is built Capera Pillon family for a few years later. It has a ramp designed to harnesses for the passengers to descend from possible inclement weather. In 1847, the presbytery is assigned to the school and the town hall, before the house of the teacher. This former priory becomes private home in 1914 after hosting a military hospital, it serves as a sanatorium before the Second World War. At that time, the landscape is again transformed by the development of an airstrip in the middle of meadows. These quickly found their use for breeding and cultivation of orchards. The stud is installed in the castle in 1964.

We cross a few acres before we slide between the Corbert pond and the pond Bougneuf . Then we go back to Holland ponds, where, in summer, swimming is allowed. Further, the road to the cows we can find the old Roman road. At its end, we discover the Clos Fox and the adjoining castle. Down in St. Leger, we admire the Church of St. Jean Baptiste which, perched on a slope, facing the king's house . Further, forest houses and royal portal.

Namely: the village takes the name of a martyr killed at 678. In 1026, Robert the Pious church built within the walls of his castle. This amounts to Philippe Auguste in the 12th, then the Duke de Montfort in 1203. A bell tower with twin bays in lancets is added to the church. The field becomes a royal marriage of Anne of Brittany and Louis XII, before being entrusted by François André de Foix in the first. This he built a stud farm in 1535 in order to develop livestock. Louis XIV bought it in 1668 and made larger. Several farms are dedicated then to horse breeding. The king offers his estate to the Duke of Chevreuse in 1692 and sells it to the Comte de Toulouse in 1706. The stud is transferred in Normandy in 1715. St Leger then passes into the hands of the Duke of Penthievre, Louis XVI, who then grants itself the half-timbered house in 1764, ending with Napoleon. Remains only the portal checkerboard road Houdan.

On leaving the village, we take the big gap to overcome the Sleeping Beauty and the mound of ass. We find the Gr1 and leave the edge of the Black Forest. Shortly after the road from the field of thorns takes us to the west. We head south before reaching the county and we join the sieve. Farther away from observation, the hamlet of Souvigny is dedicated to the breeding racehorse. This area has a private airstrip. At the Watchtower , we follow the road to rock to the wolves. We avoid the contours of the rocks and turn Angennes on the path of Jubellerie. We find the Gr1C Poigny north of the forest, we find the church of St Peter and school hall.

Namely: church is attested from the 10th century when Hugh Capet authorizes the construction, while the priory was built in 1176. The village is struggling to develop, but at the end of the 14th, it is assigned by the king to Angennes family, lords of Rambouillet. In 1562, the son John did revise the church and monastic buildings transformed into a castle with moat and deadly. In 1706, Count of Toulouse acquires the lordship before Louis XVI redeems him. The school hall was built in 1868 and a playground, laundry, shelter and pump it added in 1889.

Returning eastward, we pass the marshes of Cherry Orchard before reaching the main road. Returning to the city, we head towards the area before exploring Grenonvilliers the old quarters of Rambouillet and join our starting point.
