The Château de Villers-Cotterêts, constructed in the 16th century by King François I, holds significance for being the place where the king signed an ordinance in 1539, mandating the use of French in official documents, marking a pivotal moment in French linguistic history. Designated as a historical monument in 1997 and owned by the French government, the château will host the International City of the French Language starting in November 2023, solidifying its role as a cultural site dedicated to promoting the French language globally.
