In the heart of the village of Villiers Saint Frédéric, a porch marks the entrance to the old castle. It leads to the old town hall, now the municipal library, and to the church. Behind us, the new town hall.

This small table is in the oldest large circle. A large table is located in the new small star. An old table, called the "débotter" table, on which the king sat so that his large hunting boots could be put on, it also served as a snack table and also, and perhaps especially by climbing onto it by a circular bench, as an observatory in the center of a star. The small table of Beynes seems the oldest, it is a large circular block, split in the middle and supported by four terminals. The large table is more ornate with the inscription "remade in 1783", and its top bears the indication of the roads, also serving as an orientation table. This assignment is unique, moreover the inscription "Route d'Auteuil" does not correspond to the star where it is, but to the Grand Rond. It is reasonable to think that the table from Ste Appoline (Plaisir) was brought there first, while the one from Beynes was being remade, then the tablets were reversed, and this is how the large table is in the small star and gives the orientations of the Grand Rond.
