Historic Sites & Monuments

Tall towers, deep moats, a drawbridge… 7 centuries of French history at the Château de Villebon, a fairytale castle sure to enchant your kids.

Jean Moulin (1899-1943), member of the French Resistance and préfet in Eure-et-Loir, was one of Général de Gaulle's assistants. Discharged from his duties by the Pétain government, he was arrested in 1943 by the Gestapo and died in the train ...

A historic site on a rocky outcropping overlooking the Loir, set around the castle and the market square. A trip back in time through the steep, winding streets, past stone or half-timbered houses with rich decor, religious and civil buildings.

Set around one of France's oldest farms (12th century), mediaeval gardens take us back into the spirituality and scents of the Middle Ages.

A spectacular testimony to 19th century art! The neo-gothic chapel, the stained glass windows and recumbent statues inside are works by the greatest artists from that era: Delacroix, Millet, Ingres, Lenoir, Mercié, Vernet and many others.

With its curiously topped square tower, this charming flamboyant gothic church built between the 15th and 17th centuries has a remarkable set of 16th century stained glass windows dedicated to Eucharist miracles.
