It is on the left bank of the Seine River, adjoining the Forest of Saint-Germain and just north of the Forest of Marly. The château of Saint-Germain and its park are next to a famous 17th-century terrace overlooking the Seine, built for Louis XIV in 1673. The 16th-century Château Vieux, built on the site of the original old castle, has been restored and houses the Museum of National Antiquities.
