Pretty loop from the Sources trail

The castle of Dampierre-en-Burly dates from the 15th and 16th centuries, when it belonged to the Cugnac family. Decorated by the painter Michel Dorigny, it was destroyed during the French Revolution. Only the clock tower, which serves as the entrance, remains of the original building. The current castle was rebuilt in the 19th century by Amédée de Béhague, an agronomist who created an estate of 2,000 hectares. The castle is not open to the public, but you can admire its architecture and gardens from the outside. You can also discover the neighboring village of Dampierre-en-Burly, which has remains of fortifications from the Middle Ages.

Nice view of the castle of Dampierre-en-Burly from the bridge separating the Etang du Bourg and the Etang du Grand Moulin. It was built in the 17th century then completely renovated in the 19th and today offers us its magnificent ramparts to observe (unable to visit it as it is a private castle).

One of the many fountains existing in the Orléans national forest (the largest in France), which are also one of the reasons why the Maquis de Lorris was established there.

Oak remarkable for its dimensions

Nice view of the Moulin pond, quiet in an undergrowth of oak trees. You can hear the sound of water flowing in the former Moulin channel.

Crossroads where the four municipalities of Lorris, Les Bordes, Ouzouer-sur-Loire and Montereau meet. Place steeped in history which was renamed in 1945 in memory of the Maquis de Lorris and the attack of August 14, 1944. A memorial was erected there in tribute to the victims. The ruins of the 4 forest houses also bear witness to these tragic events.

Spring converted into a fountain, a reminder of the royal past of the forest of Orléans.
