The Ministère de la Culture's notice

Le bornage le plus ancien remonte au 14e siècle, à l'époque des ducs de Valois. A la réunion du duché, en 1477, la forêt revient au domaine royal. Les anciennes bornes sont conservées et d'autres apparaissent. Ces bornes datent principalement du 17e siècle. Soixante-quatre bornes ont été recensées dans la forêt de Châtillon. Implantées parallèlement aux chemins forestiers, elles portent, sur une face, soit les armes ducales soit les armes royales, et, sur l'autre face, les armes du propriétaire mitoyen (seigneurs de la région, couvents ou communes environnantes).

The earliest boundary marking dates from the 14th century, in the time of the dukes of Valois. At the union of the duchy, in 1477, the forest returned to the royal domain. The old boundary stones are preserved and others appear. These boundary stones date principally from the 17th century. Sixty-four boundary stones have been recorded in the forest of Châtillon. Implanted parallel to forest roads, they bear, on one face, either the ducal arms or the royal arms, and, on the other face, the arms of the neighbouring owner (lords of the region, convents or surrounding communes).
