The quoted on-line source refers to Eloy's assumed training at a "Moulin de Monnaie at Versailles" rather than the Monnaie de Paris, as the royal mint was always sited and called. Versailles in the 16th century was not yet even a hunting lodge.--Wetman (talk) 18:38, 12 October 2014 (UTC)Reply
I think the authors have probably made a mistake as other sources simply mention the "Paris Mint", but it's somewhat perplexing as I can't find any other source which mentions a "Moulin de Monnais" at Versailles. Retroplum (talk) 00:35, 13 October 2014 (UTC)Reply
