In the 10th century, Robert le Pieux built a monastery on the site of the present-day Saint-Germain church, and in 1124, Louis VI le Gros built a royal residence here. From that time onwards, the town became a vacation resort for the monarchs of France. The Château-Neuf was created by Henry II, and enlarged by Henry IV. However, by the end of the 17th century, royalty was gradually abandoning Saint-Germain in favor of Versailles. During the French Revolution, the Château-Vieux was transformed into a prison. Today, Saint-Germain is a thriving historic town, with lively streets and a harmonious blend of past and present.
