At the turn of this bend in the road, you can see this magnificent castle through the trees, especially in winter when the vegetation has thinned out.

The Château de Neuville, located in the heart of a forest park in Gambais, was built in the 16th century by Joachim de Bellengreville, Grand Provost of the Hôtel du Roy in charge of security and the Court police under Henri IV. Its design is attributed to Jacques Androuet du Cerceau, a famous architect to whom we owe the Louvre gallery, the Pont Neuf and the Hôtel Carnavalet in Paris. The Henri III style building has undergone many transformations over time. During the 2nd World War it was occupied by the German and then American armies, and gradually abandoned.

Since the 1960s and 1970s, the family that owns the place, a descendant of the Marquis de Labriffe who acquired the château in 1795, has embarked on a long and costly restoration program which is still continuing today. To finance this work, the estate is regularly rented for film and television shoots, which is why its silhouette may seem familiar to you. Among the films shot in these places: La vie de château (JP Rappeneau), Peau d'âne (Jacques Demy), Dangerous liaisons (Stephen Frears), Cyrano de Bergerac (JP Rappeneau), Ridicule (Patrice Leconte), but also two seasons of the TV show "The Best Pastry Chef".
