La Roche-Guyon - Château de La Roche-Guyon
La Roche-Guyon (pop. ~ 450) grew around the Château de La Roche-Guyon, built in the 12th century, to control the river Seine. Abbot Suger (St. Denis) wrote about the castle, that it was "invisible on the surface, dug in a high rock". Being on the border to the Normandie the castle had some stragetic importance. The Guy de La Roche family were the lords from the 10th to the 15th century. In the 12th century, Guy de la Roche was a vassal of Philip II of France, who rewarded his loyalty by granting him the toll for boats sailing on the Seine.
In the 14th century, a mansion was built at the foot of the rock and a secret passage was dug to the upper castle. The strategic importance got lost. In the 18th century a representative entrance, terraces, a large salon, a library and even a small theater were built.
Today the village, named after Guy de la Roche is one of the "Plus beaux villages de France" ("most beautiful villages of France").
