The château de la Marche, in Marnes-la-Coquette in the Hauts-de-Seine region, no longer stands today: it was torn down in the spring of 1938 to make way for a housing development. Its history goes back to the 15th century and passed through notable owners, from minister Michel Chamillart to financier John Law, then Queen Marie-Antoinette, who attached it to the Saint-Cloud estate in 1785. The site later served many purposes, a steeplechase racecourse, an ice factory, a holiday camp, before becoming today's avenue de Chamillard, a private residential area.
