Rambouillet

The subprefecture of Rambouillet sits 44 kilometers southwest of Paris, featuring governmental buildings and extensive forested areas within the Île-de-France region.

The Château de Rambouillet transformed from a medieval fortress into a royal residence when Louis XVI acquired it in 1783, later becoming a presidential summer residence in 1896.

The Bergerie Nationale, established in 1786, maintains its tradition as a breeding center for Merino sheep while functioning as an agricultural education facility.

The commune provides administrative services to 83 municipalities in the arrondissement, with direct train connections to Paris Montparnasse station through regular SNCF services.

The Laiterie de la Reine, constructed in 1787 for Marie Antoinette, displays neoclassical architecture with marble interiors and specialized dairy production facilities.
