There's a small café where you can sit under the trees on the terrace, very peaceful. But €3 for an espresso...

Please note, road condition is very poor for road bikes.

Nice place with this factory!

Nestled on the edge of the Orléans forest, the Château de Chamerolles is a magnificent Renaissance castle which retains its medieval heritage. It was built between 1500 and 1530 on the site of an old medieval fortress by Lancelot du Lac, chamberlain of King Louis XII and Governor of Orléans. He wanted to make the old medieval building into a real pleasure castle responding to the architectural fashion of the time. With its polychrome brick decor and its open gallery, the Château de Chamerolles is inspired by the Louis XII wing of the royal Château de Blois. It retains its moat and its layout of corner towers from the medieval period. During the wars of religion, Lancelot's grandson, Lancelot II, transformed the castle of Chamerolles into a center of Protestantism. From this period remains the chapel whose painted tables of laws are the oldest in France. Chamerolles remained in the du Lac family until the end of the 17th century. In 1672, the castle belonged to Jacques Saumery, brother-in-law of Colbert. A century later, the castle passed into the hands of the Lambert family and in 1924, into those of Gaston Jessé-Curély. Occupied, ransacked, stripped during the Second World War, the Château de Chamerolles was put up for sale in 1970. In 1976, the city of Paris found itself in charge of Chamerolles. Abandoned, the Château de Chamerolles fell into ruins. In 1987, it became the property of the Loiret Departmental Council which then undertook an ambitious restoration program. The five years of work allow us to discover a transitional architecture, between the medieval heritage and the innovations of the Renaissance. Today, the Château de Chamerolles is dedicated to the history of perfumery and offers a historical and heritage showcase to the Cosmetic Valley, located in the Centre-Val de Loire region. Chamerolles offers a visual and olfactory journey, in pieces reconstructed from the 16th century to the 18th century, allowing you to discover the history of toiletry and perfume. The castle is surrounded by a large park and a charming Renaissance garden, created by Lancelot II du Lac, after a trip to Italy. A garden where it is beautiful to stroll in the summer.

Pretty village in Natura 2000 zone.

The Orléans Canal is full of charm with its many locks!

The Orléans Canal is an old waterway which connects the Loire to the Loing Canal and the Briare Canal. Over its length of 78 kilometers, the canal includes a total of 26 reaches (portions of a canal between two locks) and 29 locks. The Moulin-Rouge reach is 1,500 meters long. It is bordered upstream by the Combreux lock and, downstream, by the Moulin-Rouge lock. The lock is no longer functional, but that does not detract from the charm of the place!

We might believe it to be a classic viaduct when we pass under this construction but it is ultimately an 18km long track, built in 1968 to carry out experiments on monorail transport, the skytrain of the French engineer Jean Bertin. A prototype set a world speed record there in 1974, with 430.4 km/h on the clock. Due to a lack of investors or customers, the tests were stopped in 1977 and the track was decommissioned. Its dismantling being estimated at 13 million euros, the viaduct remained there, in the middle of the Beauceron countryside.
