Official site of the Château St Germain en Laye
Château St Germain en Laye is an archaeological museum now. There are no splendid royal rooms or something like that, there is only an archaeological exhibition.
The castle itself (from outside) and its park are worth of a visit for somebody who is interested in castles.
The link leads you to the history of the castle.
