Very beautiful village which is definitely worth the detour. You can notably discover its castle, built in the 13th century under Philippe Auguste. Don't hesitate to dismount and take a walk in the pedestrian part of the village.

The Château de Courcelles-le-Roi is discreet behind its high walls and hedges, and yet it has left its mark on the history of France, welcoming within its walls some of the most illustrious kings. A former fortified castle whose construction dates back to the 11th century, it was destroyed and rebuilt three times, including twice during the Hundred Years' War. Located on the lands of the Orléans forest where the kings came to hunt, Saint-Louis and Charles VIII stayed there. Anne of Brittany, Queen of France and wife of Charles VIII, gave birth there to a baby, François, who unfortunately only lived a few hours. Guided tours are organized there.

The Manoir de la Taille, also known as the Château de Bondaroy, is a fortified manor house which dates from the 14th century and was the birthplace of two Renaissance poets, Jean and Jacques de La Taille. You can admire the impressive facade, towers and gatehouse, as well as the surrounding countryside. You can also explore the neighboring town of Pithiviers, which has a rich heritage and a famous pastry, the pithivier.

A private Louis XIII-style castle, it has a magnificent park crossed by the Egg, a river taking its source in the forest of Orléans and flowing into the Essonne. There is also an 18th century dovecote.

The Manor of La Taille, also called Château de Bondaroy, is a fortified manor whose construction dates back to the 14th century.

Village classified among the most beautiful villages in France, with its fortress and its two churches, and notably away from the ramparts, the unfinished church of Saint Lubin which enchanted Victor Hugo.
