The village is located five kilometers south of Courtalain, in Perche-Gouët, southern part of the department close to Loir-et-Cher and Sarthe. An ancient Roman road, called “Caesar’s path”, crosses the country. The old, picturesque cemetery extended to the south of the church, the new cemetery developing to the east. The history of the building has been marked by two fires which ravaged the bell tower, the first in 1739, the second in the 19th century: after this last disaster, the bell tower was rebuilt on the first bay of the nave (and not on the middle), which led to significant modifications to the framework in place in the western part. The current bell tower, of hexagonal section, which leaned towards the southwest, was straightened during the latest work. The nave, elongated in shape, is extended to the east by a semi-circular apse. Two sacristies were built, one in the 18th century. to the north, the second to the east, later, was recently removed to free up the apse of the church. The church is built of coated flint rubble, grison was used for certain bay frames, as well as for buttresses. The presence of semi-circular openings in the upper part of the walls explains the very old dating (11th century) sometimes attributed to the building. The middle bay of the rounded apse was removed to allow the installation of an altarpiece. The door which, to the south, opened towards the cemetery is today condemned, the entrance is made either through another door also located in the south gutter wall, or through the western facade preceded by a caquetoire. The interior of the building is covered with a paneled framework with joint covers whose punches and molded tie beams are visible. Unfortunately, in the 1930s the north and south walls were lined in the western part with a cement block wall.  the entrance to the church remains a baptismal font; the church also has a statue of a saint holding a column. For the urgent work consisting of straightening the bell tower and removing the cement coatings in the lower part of the exterior walls, the Safeguarding of French Art granted aid of €7,000 in 2004.

Almost nothing is reliably known about the life of Saint George (Saint-GEORGES), to whom the church of Cloyes-sur-le-Loir was dedicated, but the veneration of his person goes back to early Christianity. A martyr identified with George is said to have lived in the third century. However, the legend of St. George as a dragon slayer is well known and widespread; he is usually depicted - in paintings or as a statue - as the conqueror of the monster, often as a knight on horseback. The memorial day of the very popular George - he is, among other things, patron of the English kingdom - in the calendar of saints is April 23rd.

The house of La Rochefoucauld is one of the oldest families of the French nobility. In 1863, the Duke of La Rochefoucauld undertook the construction of a magnificent castle in the middle of the forest of Gaudinière. The castle was bought in the early 1920s by a wealthy Armenian merchant from New York, who wanted to organize a reception center for orphans from Armenia. Chance made that this castle was chosen, and transformed to accommodate a hundred children. After long and expensive development work, the center worked in good harmony with the surroundings, including the village of Ville aux Clercs. The estate created its own resources and even provided a profession for the accommodated teenagers. The castle experienced several fire alerts at the end of the 1920s. On Saturday November 17, 1934, around 9:30 am, an employee of the estate saw smoke emanating from the roof on the northeast side. Firefighters from neighboring towns rushed to the scene. They could not contain the fire, but a lot of furniture, and objects were saved from the disaster. The investigation concluded that there was a short circuit in the attic. The residents were housed in the redeveloped outbuildings, but their situation could not last like this. The New York patron, after two years of study and reflection, preferred to shift his efforts to the Armenian communities in Greece, and more recently in 1991 in Syria and Lebanon. The domain was then sold for a few thousand Francs between the years 1937 and 1938. It is a company, a subsidiary of the "Mines de Lens" in the north of France which bought the entire domain to reforest it, in order to s '' supply mine poles. The ruins were then demolished, dispersed, even looted.
