  In September 1606, Marguerite de France, known as Queen Margot, settled in Issy, in a house with a garden, designed the park and had statues installed: Venuses, Muses, Amours in marble or stone, and built herself a nymphaeum, a grotto whose walls are covered with shells, preserved in its current state in the park of the Séminaire d'Issy. Before making her mark on literature (thanks to Alexandra Dumas), Henri IV's wife left her mark on the history of Issy and played a considerable political role.

  
  
  
• Musical show about Queen Margot
  Sunday, September 22, 4:30 p.m.
