Porte de Boisville Its ogival portal opens into a thick quadrangular massif where there was a room for operating the portcullis. We can still see the groove in the thickness of the walls. On the left and right two small funnel-shaped spaces allowed the defenders to observe and repel the enemies who appeared on the bridge. The gate was topped by a building serving as a guardhouse which was demolished in 1761. The guarding of these doors and their keys was in the troubled times of the Hundred Years' War the subject of concern for the inhabitants and also a source of quarrels and trials between the city and the abbey. This gate is preceded by a bridge of 5 stone arches, the one adjoining the gate was built in 1774 and replaced a drawbridge which defended the entrance.

Former keep nicknamed La Poivrière because of its roof and which was part of the fortified enclosure in the 13th century

Bonneval, nicknamed the little Venice of Beauce

Bonneval is a beautiful town with still-present fortifications. The old town is surrounded by a wall at the foot of which flows the Loir. This city retains many period buildings such as the Saint-Roch Gate and the King's Tower. Among its must-see attractions, the city also includes the Benedictine abbey of Saint-Florentin-et-Saint-Hilaire, many times destroyed and rebuilt during wars.

This castle dates back to the 12th century, although some parts were added later. Its imposing tower was present from the beginning. As for the Saint Nicholas chapel, it is known for its Gothic decorations.

Continuing on my way, and before entering the center of the village, a new door stands here. Admire the view.

At the entrance to Bonneval, I come across the remains of an old medieval gate. A beauty of the local heritage that I like to continue to observe as these monuments are wonderful.

The church, which dates from the 12th century, benefited from the renovation and building momentum of the 15th and 16th centuries. The building, which consisted of a paneled nave and a choir with a semicircular apse, was extended at the beginning of the 16th century with an aisle built in a style mixing the Gothic and Renaissance repertoires. The Patronage of Florimond Robertet, treasurer of France, at the beginning of the 16th century also affects the interior decor whose murals offer a rare representation of the Tale of the Three Dead and the Three Living. The subjects depicted may possibly be linked to an epidemic. The church has undergone few transformations since the 16th century, apart from the slate spire rebuilt in the 19th century source: monumentum
