Chapel side of the Courtyard at Château Saint-Germain-en-Laye by Beausoleil
Musée d’Archéologie Nationale et Domaine National de Saint-Germain-en-Laye covers the history of France back to the stone age. There are ancient bones, artifacts, art and information throughout the several floors of the château. We visited for the Henri II special exhibit, but having finished that, we decided to continue through the main exhibits so returned via the beautiful Courtyard to the main château and archeological exhibits.

National Archeology Museum in Château de Saint-Germain-en-Laye - Courtyard by Beausoleil
Henri II Renaissance in Saint-Germain-en-Laye, a special exhibit at the Musée d’Archéologie Nationale et Domaine National de Saint-Germain-en-Laye. Henri II was King of France from 31 March 1547 until his death in 1559. He was married to Catherine d'Medici and his mistress was the famous Diane de Poitiers to whom he gifted the lovely Château de Chenonceau famously reclaimed by Catherine at Henri's death in 1559. Diane was left with Château de Chaumont. In the chapel at the end of the exhibit, there was a tv screen running a short movie on Henri II and life during his reign.
