The Château de Maintenon is a castle that was once the residence of Madame de Maintenon, the second wife of Louis XIV. You can explore the elegant halls and gardens of the castle, as well as the impressive aqueduct that was built to supply water to the Palace of Versailles. The castle is open from Tuesday to Sunday, from 10:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. The entrance price is 9 euros for adults and 6 euros for children. You can also benefit from a guided tour or an audio guide at an additional cost. The castle is surrounded by a beautiful park, where you can stroll along the Eure and admire the view of the aqueduct and the castle.

Maintenon was in the Middle Ages to the dominion of the Counts of Montfort and was devastated in the Hundred Years War and during the First Huguenot War. Françoise d'Aubigné, the later mistress and secret wife of Louis XIV, acquired the reign and moated castle in 1674.

Next to the Maintenon Castle and its extensive park in the style of an English landscape garden, the Gothic castle church of Saint-Nicolas from the 16th century and the baroque church Saint-Pierre from the 17th century are worth seeing. There is also an aqueduct.
