The small small royal town of Marly-le-Roi will delight walkers with its vast royal park featuring ornamental lakes and statues, including copies of the famous Marly Horses (the originals belong to the Louvre), which stand by the Abreuvoir (horse watering place), the centuries-old forest and picturesque old village with pretty houses.
In the royal park, you should not miss the Marly-le-Roi-Louveciennes museum, which recounts the history of this estate through its fine art collections. The museum also contains a scale model representing the park and its now destroyed château, where King Louis XIV lived, as well as a room dedicated to the Machine of Marly, which was used to transport water from the River Seine to the ornamental lakes of Versailles and Marly.
