The Capetian & French Royal Seats

As descendants of the Capetian Kings, these palaces are the ancestral homes of the French royal line.

  • Palais de la Cité (Paris): The original residence of King Hugh Capet and King Robert II. It remains the heart of legal authority in France.

  • Château de Senlis: A favorite residence of the early Capetian kings, where Hugh Capet was originally elected to the throne.

  • Château d'Angers: The fortress home of the House of Anjou, ancestral to King Foulk V and the Plantagenet line.
