A story has it that on one February day in 1596, the good King Henry IV passed in front of what is now La Résidence after a rendezvous with his mistress, Gabrielle d'Estrée. Still musing on this gallant encounter and the lovely lady's charms, he is said to have remarked to a companion, "Ici gît mon coeur" ("Here lies my heart").
