In 1577, Catherine de Medicis gave her squire, Jérôme de Gondi, a small estate of 13 acres on a hillside overlooking the Seine. Around 1640, the Gondi residence is surrounded by terraced Italian gardens with fountains, caves and waterfalls. Rebuilt by the financier Hervart from 1655, the castle was bought in 1658 by Louis XIV for his brother, Philippe, Duke of Orléans, known as Monsieur. Architects Antoine Le Pautre and then Jules-Hardouin Mansart built the castle between 1670 and 1690\. From 1660 to his death, André le Nôtre drew the design of the park and brought its surface to nearly 400 hectares. In 1785, Marie-Antoinette bought the estate and immediately commissioned his architect Richard Mique to do major work to enlarge the castle. After the Revolution, the palace, rebuilt by Percier and Fontaine for Bonaparte, became the summer residence of all the sovereigns and one of the seats of executive power until the fall of Napoleon III. The Palais de Saint-Cloud was burned down on Oct
