St.-Germain-en-Laye

La Maison du Val, an all-inclusive castle masquerading as a country house that opened in 2021 in St.-Germain-en-Laye, France, west of Paris, offers complimentary boots so guests can stroll through the forest where kings and emperors of France took their afternoon walks.

You can still retrace the exact route taken by the motorcyclist from there, through the Marly woods towards St Germain-en-Laye.

His brain was sent to the Scots College in Paris and put in a silver case on top of a column, his heart went to the Convent of the Visitandine Nuns at Chaillot and his intestines were divided between the English Church of St Omer and the parish church of St Germain-en-Laye.

This document is an "Extract from the Register of the Deliberation of the Municipal Council of St. Germain-en-Laye," dated July 12, 1824, containing the official report, or proc�s-verbal, of the discovery made that day of three boxes, in which were deposited a portion of the remains of King James II. and of the Princess Louise-Marie, his daughter.

It may be presumed that the epitaph given in the same document, and mentioned as being such as it had existed in the church of St. Germain-en-Laye, had disappeared before the date of the "Extract from the Register."
