The charm of Nogent le Roi.

The Moulin de Mormoulins is a watermill located on the Eure River in the hamlet of Mormoulins. This mill dates back to the 18th and 19th centuries and is a listed historical monument. You can admire the old stone building, the wooden wheel, and the canal that diverts water from the river as you pass in front of the mill. The mill is surrounded by green fields and trees, creating a peaceful and relaxing atmosphere.

The church of La Chapelle-Forainvilliers, dedicated to Saint Martin, is a charming little building of uniform appearance which occupies the center of the village. Attested from 1080, the church, in its current state, does not seem to date back further than the 14th century and it most certainly underwent significant restorations in the 16th century. Some work was carried out in the 19th century, notably on the gable wall of the facade or inside which was redesigned according to the taste of the time. With a very simple plan, the church consists of a single nave ending in a semi-circular apse. It is lit by numerous bays which reveal successive interventions. The southern facade has semicircular openings in the second and third bays, openings which were reworked in the 19th century, and others, wider and higher in pointed arches, in the first and fourth bays; The carefully executed moldings bear witness to the 16th century work campaigns. One of the openings in the apse has a clasp in its upper keystone, probably installed in the 18th century. In the 19th century, a false stonework was designed across the entire nave; the furniture dates from this period. The church is covered with a pleasing roof of flat tiles that contrasts with the slate roof of the bell tower, whose slender profile allows the church to be distinguished from afar. The work to cover the bell tower was necessary and in 1994 the Sauvegarde de l'Art Français (French Art Protection Agency) awarded a grant of 15,000 francs. Unfortunately, the significant damage to the framework soon became apparent during the work. The Sauvegarde de l'Art Français (French Art Protection Agency) awarded a further grant of 100,000 francs for the repair of the bell tower framework in 1996.

Saint Mary Magdalene was the first to encounter the risen Christ, and she was the first to bear witness to him before the Apostles. A woman disciple of Jesus Christ. There were no half measures for Mary Magdalene, sister of Martha and Lazarus of Bethany. Her taste for luxury and the world, her unbridled libertinism, and her defiance of convention made her despised by good people. Radically transformed by Christ, her gratitude was inexhaustible: she had found the One her heart loved, and she would follow Him wherever He went. It was she who threw herself at the feet of her Lord and perfumed them with perfume before the stunned Pharisees. The first to thus foresee the Passion and death of Jesus, she would be the first to announce His Resurrection to the doubting apostles. Fiery-tempered, she lived her last thirty years alone in a cave, secluded in contemplation of Love. This church consists of a rectangular nave and a side bell tower with a slate spire, which was raised by a floor in the 19th century. It comprises a four-bay nave with two aisles extending into side chapels. The pentagonal choir has a cul-de-four vault supported by early Gothic ribs. It is lit by two Romanesque bays.

Nothing remains of the old church, donated at the end of the 10th century by Hugh Capet to the Abbey of Saint-Magloire. During the 19th and 20th centuries, the building was remodeled numerous times. The bell tower was restored around 1840. The building burned down in 1888. In 1892, the Hériot family commissioned its reconstruction from Charles Trubert, architect of the town of Rambouillet. The sacristy was built in 1894, possibly by Pommay, the Hériot family's architect. A painting depicting Saint Thomas Aquinas receiving the blood of Christ can be attributed to the 18th-century French school. The iconographic theme chosen is unusual. The depiction of a saint receiving the blood of Christ is inspired by the medieval theme of the Church collecting blood and water in its chalice. In the 16th century, the figures depicted in this pose at the foot of the cross were angels. Saint Thomas Aquinas usually symbolizes the fight against evil. In this painting, he represents the love of Christ. The church consists of a single nave with a ribbed vault and semicircular arches. The stained-glass windows are probably the work of Lorin, a master glassmaker from Chartres. The bell tower, partially destroyed during the Second World War, was restored in 1955.
