Moutiers is one of the oldest villages in the Perche region, built around a monastery founded in the 6th century and destroyed by the Norman invasions. This is where the village's name comes from, since "Moutiers" means monastery in Old French. On the slopes of the hill, called Mont Harou, stands the church, flanked by a few typical Perche houses that form the old town. To reach it, you'll have to navigate the steep, straight climb of Church Street or take a detour through small streets that soften the steepness of the climb. The church square offers a beautiful view of the surrounding area. Don't forget to walk around the church to admire the gargoyles, which are quite exceptional for such a small church. Restrooms and water are available right next door.

The château, built in the 19th century and renovated by the Marquis d'Aligre with the intention of making it the most luxurious residence in the region, still retains various vestiges of the princely home, formal French gardens, reception rooms, an enclosed courtyard, stables, and a chapel. It currently houses the Saint-François school, the Notre-Dame vocational high school, and the Notre-Dame des Jardins horticultural and landscape high school.

In 1862, at a time when Napoleon III found himself facing anticlerical opposition, the bishop of Chartres sought to bring together Catholics certainly in his cathedral but also in the countryside. He has in his possession a relic of Saint James and decides to offer it to the Saint-Jacques church in Montlandon. Where does he get it from? Is it one of the two relics existing in Chartres before the Revolution, one attested at the Saint-André church in the 15th century, the other at the Hôtel-Dieu in the following century? The mystery remains. The same year, the parish priest, Father Joly, wrote a 28-page brochure entitled Historical notice on Saint James the Greater, his origin, his vocation, his apostolate, his death, his translation and his miracles followed by some reflections on the founding of a pilgrimage to Montlandon, printed in Chartres by the printer Garnier, which he sold for the benefit of his church, with the approval of his bishop. This attempt to found a pilgrimage was unsuccessful. The reliquary is still at the back of the church but could do with some serious cleaning. The church of Montlandon could today once again become a small local sanctuary, within walking distance of former pilgrims from Compostela or of those who will never go as far as Galicia.

Church of Marolles-Les-Buis, Saint-Lubin du Perche parish, Nogent le Rotrou Saint Vincent in the heart of the village, seen from the sky… This church is dedicated… To Saint Vincent: born in Spain, ordained deacon by Valère, bishop of Zaragoza, they were both the first victims of the persecution unleashed, in 304, against Christians by the emperor Diocletian. They were taken, in chains, to Valencia to appear before the governor of the province. Vincent eloquently declared that nothing, ever, would overcome their loyalty to Christ. He was then subjected to torture, and it was joyful to confess his faith that he breathed his last. Vincent became a very popular saint in the West. We do not know why he became the patron saint of winegrowers. The Romanesque nave of the Marolles church… Is the one which was given to the monks of Thiron around 1115. The proportions of this first church were practically doubled in the 15th century by the addition of a porch to the west, topped by a massive bell tower with a staircase turret exterior, and a choir narrower than the nave to the east. A church is not a building like any other… Each of the elements that constitute it has a particular meaning, a symbolic meaning. So it is with the porch or the front door. The door, generally monumental, even in a village church, leads from the street to the sanctuary, from the secular domain to the sacred domain. Open to a mystery, it is a place of passage between two states, and its value is dynamic: it invites you to cross, to progress towards… The church is generally oriented from west to east: west, the entrance, the east, the choir; the journey is therefore towards the side where the day dawns, and it is indeed the Day of the return of the victorious Christ, the Christ of glory, which the faithful await with faith and hope. And let us now reread the Gospel of John (10, 1-10) which tells us that Christ is the true door, the Door of passage to the Father. This is also what we are reminded of on the tympanum of cathedral doors where Christ is depicted who welcomes those who enter to offer them the opportunity to go with him to his Father...
