The unfinished church built after the other church near the Châtel in the 13th century. From the town website: In the 13th century, the inhabitants of Yèvre-le-Châtel obtained permission from the Bishop of Orléans to build a parish church in the cemetery. However, following the intervention of the monks of Saint-Benoit-sur-Loire, the bishop reversed his decision and work was interrupted. Work resumed after the Hundred Years' War, but the church was never completed. Furthermore, in 1708, the bishop authorized the sale of stones and materials that had fallen onto the ground, resulting in Saint-Lubin being both unfinished and in ruins. The building, with a single nave and two bays, is perfectly homogeneous. The structure, in the shape of a Latin cross, ends with a flat chevet, characteristic of the 13th century. The romantic remains of this church were admired by Victor Hugo in the 19th century.

Very beautiful village which is definitely worth the detour. You can notably discover its castle, built in the 13th century under Philippe Auguste. Don't hesitate to dismount and take a walk in the pedestrian part of the village.

The Château de Courcelles-le-Roi is discreet behind its high walls and hedges, and yet it has left its mark on the history of France, welcoming within its walls some of the most illustrious kings. A former fortified castle whose construction dates back to the 11th century, it was destroyed and rebuilt three times, including twice during the Hundred Years' War. Located on the lands of the Orléans forest where the kings came to hunt, Saint-Louis and Charles VIII stayed there. Anne of Brittany, Queen of France and wife of Charles VIII, gave birth there to a baby, François, who unfortunately only lived a few hours. Guided tours are organized there.

The Caillettes belvedere is located in the heart of the Ingrannes massif. This 24 meter high lookout tower stands on the Caillettes hill at the highest point of the Orléans forest. It offers a breathtaking view of the entire surrounding massif and the forest canopy. An orientation table allows you to orient yourself when reading the surrounding points of interest.

A beautiful place to be on the canopy of the forest of Orleans. There are beautiful tracks to discover around.

Yevres-le-Chatel. A romantic and unusual stopover

Very pretty village, worth a visit.

At its height of popularity, the town of Yèvre-le-Châtel obtained permission to build a second church outside its fortifications. However, this church was never completed, as the village declined following the Hundred Years' War. The ruins moved Victor Hugo, who described them in a romantic style, and the resulting renewed renown led to their classification as historical monuments.
