Why is this road called the Route des Gardes? It climbs relentlessly through the Forest of Meudon. It offers glimpses of Paris and Versailles from its peak. This, my friends, is no ordinary road. The Route des Gardes whispers stories of royal processions and military maneuvers. It once echoed with the marching boots of the French Guard. They journeyed from Paris to Versailles, their footsteps marking the rhythm of history. Today, we walk in their shadow. Imagine the clatter of hooves and the creak of carriages. This road, steep and winding, was a vital link between the grandeur of Versailles and the beating heart of Paris. In a way, it still is.

Beneath what appears to be a simple stone and wood structure lies a history interwoven with faith aviation and community.
