Les majuscules.... partie enième.....

Jim L.C1Kwiziq Q&A regular contributor

I don't mark myself down for punctuation, but of course I still want to get it right. And I have a terrible tendency to use capital letters for roads etc the english way - i.e. "Rue de Quelque chose", "Place Quelque Chose" only to find that it should be "rue de Quelque Chose", "place Quelque chose" etc.
So I was expecting "le château de Versailles". Mais non !

Is there any logic in this, or is it basically something that a native speaker just knows intuitively ?

This question relates to:French dictation exercise "Ma visite du Château de Versailles"
