Château de Villers-Cotterêts

The only royal Renaissance castle in Picardy. In 1528, François 1st decided to build a royal residence in Villers-Cotterêts, on the edge of the Retz forest where he liked to hunt. The architect Philibert Delorme contributed to the creation of the building, completed in 1556.
