Urban development plan

A short distance from the palatial gardens of Versailles lies the village of Saint-Cyr-l'Ecole. In this woody region, castles, museums and gardens are silent witnesses from many centuries of French history. However, Saint-Cyr-l'Ecole is not trapped in the past: a completely new town centre is under development, of which the Quartier du Parc de l'Abbaye is part. Small-scale residential buildings and facilities have been developed harmoniously in this district. Bouwfonds Marignan realised six subsectors around the Parc de l'Abbaye: Les terrasses de Gally, Les jardins de l'Abbaye, Les villas du Parc, Les villas de Gally, Parc Résidence and Cyriade. The complexes are grouped around green landscaped gardens in various styles, providing the occupants a pleasant, peaceful living environment in centre of the town.
