オゾワール＝ル＝ブルイユのおすすめランニングルート

This beautiful Romanesque church from the 12th and 13th centuries is easily remarkable thanks to its majestic 15th century bell tower topped by a large stone spire with edges decorated with kale which overlooks the town from around fifty meters high. A beautiful Romanesque portal from the 13th century with a trefoiled arch and deep arches sculpted with geometric patterns provides access to the church. The vaults of the nave fall on columns decorated with grotesques and the south aisle opens onto a richly decorated side chapel from the 16th century. The choir is lit by beautiful stained glass windows dating from the Renaissance, some of which tell the story of Saint Anne. The bell tower is sparkling since its recent restoration.

The construction of the old Madeleine abbey dates back to the middle of the 12th century. This large Romanesque building has undergone successive alterations as well as a long restoration following a fire in 1940 but it remains the largest and most majestic religious building in the city. The now stripped interior appearance of the building only reinforces the majesty of the place. The beautiful south portal remained hidden behind the medieval city wall for a long time before being rediscovered at the end of the 19th century. Unlike the north facade, it has retained magnificent sculpted arches from the 12th century. The choir was rebuilt in the 16th century without the large ambulatory which previously existed but you can still admire a Renaissance tomb from the beginning of the 16th century in the apse.

The castle overlooks the Loir River from a height of 60 meters. It comprises elements from different periods, blending medieval, Gothic, and Renaissance architectural styles. Imposing, especially when viewed from below, this castle served as a princely residence in the 12th, 15th, and 16th centuries. A visit will reveal a well-preserved and beautifully presented interior.

Between the castle and the heart of the city, you cross alleys like this one, a little picturesque, magnificent air.

The residence of a faithful comrade in arms of Joan of Arc. Jean de Dunois, known as the "bastard of Orléans", half-brother of Duke Charles of Orléans, made the old medieval castle a comfortable and bright residence and added a Sainte-Chapelle to it. His grandson François II d'Orléans-Longueville enlarged the castle with a wing with Renaissance decor announcing the great castles of the Loire Valley. Work began around 1450 and was not completed until around 1520.
