Le Bailli de Versailles, l'équivalent du maire, avait en charge la police de la ville sous l'autorité du Gouverneur. Le Bailli ne disposait que de quelques "Suisses", c'est pourquoi le Gouverneur de Versailles, le Prince de Poix, fit venir des renforts de l'Hôtel des Invalides à Paris. Les "Suisses" étaient des anciens militaires trop vieux pour le service des armes ou estropiés à la suite des batailles menées par les armées royales. Ce poste de Gardes Suisses fut occupé en permanence par 3 gardes venus en renfort. Le Poste de garde sera saisi à la Révolution et vendu. Il est à noter que les Suisses bénéficiaient du privilège d'être autorisés à vendre du vin en franchise de taxe et, par conséquent, ils utilisaient souvent le Poste de Garde comme débit de boissons. Usage que ce Poste à conservé jusque dans les années 1990. Devenu une véritable ruine, il a été racheté par un particulier en 1996. Monsieur Piquet entrepris de restaurer ce bâtiment pour lui redonner son aspect du 18e siècle. C'est pourquoi vous avez pu, en 2009, faire cette spendide photo.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02304427562098488803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8101063291894014908.post-1860477279783161382009-04-06T08:21:00.000+02:002009-04-06T08:21:00.000+02:00Nice perspective !
