Since Station Chaville, Carnot then we follow Curie to discover the Church of Our Lady . After passing through Stalingrad, we passed a large oak tree that opens the forest. We appreciate his majesty for a moment. It carries out its six centuries! A quick look under the branches, and soon we are going through the neighborhood of the headless woman. Retaining our own, we prefer to cut the county to temporarily regain the forest and around the area of Bramble.
Namely: Chaville early humans were present 8000 years BC. A Roman camp is attested from the 2nd and 4th century. Then around 811, a farmhouse and a chapel were built by the Bishop of Paris, Inchadus. The first lord is mentioned in 1120 and its territory extends over 10ha. In 1348, the village is attached to the deanery Châteaufort and it grows despite the ravages of plague and the English occupation during the war of 100 years. In 1401, became the possession of Chaville Châtelet in Paris. From 1477, the area known a succession of lords. Finally, in 1596, the castle of Simon de Vigny is in ruins. It was bought by Michel Le Tellier. Around 1660, his little son is enlarge the church and the area before constructing a new castle which he sold in 1695 at the Grand Dauphin. An oratory is leaning against the trunk of a large oak tree on the edge of the forest. A pilgrimage is held every August 15. The village is then passed through the centuries without major changes, apart from a murderous occupation in 1870. With the arrival of the train, the castle park is divided and many industries in addition to the brick already present: Laundry, tannery, brewery. The mayor settled in 1910 in a hunting lodge built in 1815 for the Comte d'Artois, who lives there until his accession to the throne in 1824. The abrupt change of the village economy is growing and rapid urbanization erases traces of the past. The old church was destroyed and rebuilt in 1930. A presbytery is assistant in 1952.
Desvallières The path allows us to approach Sevres. We walk along the railway to the north before descending the avenue of a great man. La Villa des Jardies where he lived is still there, quiet and colorful (visit in the afternoon only). We commit ourselves then in the park opposite. On leaving, some we Chick leads to Balzac. With the help of the latter, we soon discover the St Nicolas St Marc . Nearby, a large tulip tree grows to the residence Musset.
Namely: the villa is in the 17th century, a simple home winemaker. Transformed in the 18th house in the country for Paris anxious to return to nature advocated by Rousseau, it was bought by Balzac in 1837. His megalomania led him to imagine a setting for his lavish villa: Parian marble, cedar wood, frescoes by Delacroix. And for his garden, he is thinking about building a greenhouse for the production of pineapple. It also plans to sell parcels to be subdivided in the vast land acquired in the immediate vicinity of the railway track. But pursued by his creditors, he fled the house in 1840. At the dawn of the Third Republic, Gambetta, Minister of the Interior and of War, became very popular in imposing an armistice in 1871 to end the war against the Prussians. Tired of his political battles, he seeks a country home to rest and is the home of Jardies chosen in 1878 to settle there with his mistress Leonie Leon. But he died suddenly of peritonitis December 31, 1882, after a gun accident. The emotion caused by his death pushes the heirs to leave his house in the state that decided to stay together in the annual pilgrimage to the Second World War. She is now a memorial site of the Republican veteran, in the garden is a monument erected in his name in 1891 by the Alsatian sculptor Auguste Bartholdi.
We go on the land of the monastery and then we head towards the village of a coquette. At center, the church of St Eugenia we appear calm and serene, like this be preserved. From there, Schlumbergers lead us quickly to the marl. After a few steps, we pass the pavilion Thierry and cross the road to the Empress. We face uneven before attempting a visit to Haras de Jardy .
Namely: Marnes was founded by the Bishop of Paris, Eudes de Sully. A priory founded in 1120 already exists in the east of the hamlet. The church built in 1203 depends on the college of St. Cloud. In 1721 the English Benedictine priory control the and praise the farmer's fields at Clery. In the 17th century, Marnes becomes a pleasant site frequented by great characters: the Minister le Tellier, marquis de Barbezieux and Chamillart financier Law, the monarch Louis XVI, who bought the castle in 1778, then Marie Antoinette. During the revolution, the priory was sold as national property while preserving its agricultural vocation, the church is destroyed and its mayor, the lawyer Linguet sent to the scaffold. The village becomes place of residence between the first and second empire. The town hall was built in 1849 to house the administrative center, a school and an asylum. Villeneuve Castle Pond was successively occupied by Marshal Soult, the Duchess of Angouleme and the Emperor Napoleon III. This formalizes the nickname given to marl: the tune is a credit to the village green since January 1859. In 1860, Napoleon III by rebuilding the church at its expense, the building pays tribute to his wife Eugenie. In 1890, breeder and punter buys Edmond Blanc former priory and turns to accommodate a breeding thoroughbreds. The stud acquired an international reputation before being sold to Marcel Boussac in 1920. Meanwhile, other personalities attending the town: Henri Duparc (composer and Mayor the municipality in 1884), Louis Pasteur, Maurice Chevalier, Thierry Maulnier (Academician). Urbanization has here preserved the park of Villeneuve the pond, the castle was destroyed in 1870.
We then burn a few calories in the forest of Glatigny, come across the forest Pavilion, and all along the cord north we go out on the reliefs of False rests, to arrive, tired before the famous ponds Ville d'Avray . We take this opportunity to also admire the hostel Cabassud and Corot languid house beside the water. To not lose the rhythm, we on our way back down south. We find the station shortly after the Martiniere.

The Hundred Years' War devastated the region and pushes them to give way to Celestine. After 250 years of ownership, the monks sell their lands to Louis XV in 1747. The King shall confer with his first valet Marc-Antoine Thierry, bartering Ville d'Avray and cons Vaucresson Guyancourt. Thierry, and become lord of Ville d'Avray, built two schools. In 1784 the lordship became a barony. Thierry shaved the ruined church and build a new one in 1789. Despite its good intentions, he was arrested and guillotined in 1792 for being close to the king. The arrival of the railway in 1839 accelerated the development of the town. Artists are attracted by the beauty of ponds and woods: Alfred de Musset, Frédéric Chopin, Honoré de Balzac, Camille Corot. It has long resided in a house built in the 18th by the pond. This housed the remains Miss dancer opera life, before being sold to the father of the artist as a summer residence.
