Origin of Versailles
The city of Versailles, very poor in the beginning, settled in the center of the forests and swamps of the Val de Galie. The castle of Versailles lies to the north, behind an expanse of oaks formerly used for the offerings of the Druids.

If one leaves from the east from the edge a large pond, At Clagny, a large, very robust tower rises with its four stories.

The town of Versailles was situated within a quadrilateral between the present streets of Saint-Julien, Satory, the Orangery and the American Independence, forming the outskirts of the city of Versailles. The Mont de Versailles welcomed the seigneurial castle to the north of the city, and at the present location of the Grand Commun was the church of Saint-Julien.
