History
Chilly-Mazarin developed around a Roman

Mazarinettes, the famed nieces of
Cardinal Mazarin who, for several years, lived at a mansion in Chilly. The fourth niece,
Hortense Mancini, pass down to her son the titles of Marquess of Chilly and Duke of Mazarin which were ultimately passed to the House of Grimaldi, reigning house of
