No trolls hiding here!

Beautiful castle with a beautiful forest nearby 😉

The current remains are those of the 15th-century gate and its barbican or artillery boulevard. The earliest remains on the site date back to the 1st century, with the remains of an ancient domus, a street, and its wooden gutter. The first Guillaume Gate was built around 1185; a wall can still be seen a little further along Rue de la Porte Guillaume. Source: https://journals.openedition.org/cem/14214?lang=en

A very beautiful greenway It's an old railway line that has been covered over; it used to go all the way to Dreux. We love going there for cycling, and it's also ideal for walking and rollerblading.

Created by Henri LEGOU in Le Mans in 1919, who, the same year, founded DRAGOR & ALMA (DRAGOR – bucket pump and ALMA – compressed air pump), DRAGOR pumps were installed on well sites or hand pumps because they were much less tiring and allowed them to reach depths of several dozen meters. They were driven by a crank, sometimes with an additional wheel on the opposite side. Unfortunately, few pumps today retain their wheel, but some still have their crank. They consist of a belt to which buckets are attached, driven by a pulley operated by the crank. The end of the pipe ends in a lion's head. They can be found in many French departments, but also in Algeria and Chad.

Quiet little passage :)

The commune of St Martin des Champs is home to a castle, the Château de Corbeville, built in the 16th century. This building belonged to Lord Lallemant Lecoq, and more recently to the couturier Jacques Fath (buried in the park in 1954) and the singer Gérard Lenorman.

A fine example of a large old horse trough, and a beautiful row of old houses leading up to the church.
