샤탱쿠르에 위치한 생 마르탱 교회는 항상 이 지역의 유일한 예배 장소는 아니었습니다. 샤탱쿠르와 부탱쿠르 마을 사이에 작은 예배당이 있었는데, 이는 매우 오래된 시기의 것으로, 프랑크 왕국의 왕이었던 루이 7세(1137년부터 1180년까지 재위)가 1155년에 순례를 왔을 정도였습니다. 생 자크 예배당, 그것이 이름이었고 같은 이름의 장소는 오늘날 더 이상 존재하지 않으며, 종교 전쟁 중에 파괴되었습니다.

A very beautiful greenway It's an old railway line that has been covered over; it used to go all the way to Dreux. We love going there for cycling, and it's also ideal for walking and rollerblading.

Located on the banks of the Blaise River, southwest of Dreux in the prestigious Crécy-Couvé district, the Marquise de Pompadour's residence from 1746 to 1757, the seigneury of Saulnières came under the Marquise's ownership in 1754. Some remarkable elements of the church's furnishings are undoubtedly due to the generosity of this patron of the arts. The Saint-Pierre church, built on the heights of the commune of Saulnières, is believed to have originally been the church of a Benedictine convent, which ceded it to its inhabitants in 1571 after the sack of their place of worship in 1562, during the First Battle of Dreux. While the cartularies of Saint-Père, Beaulieu, and Belhomer mention the town from the first half of the 12th century, we have no documents on the church before its transfer to the commune. The building (34 m by 11.5 m), oriented, with a single nave of four bays extended by a choir bay, ends with a three-sided chevet extended along the axis by a sacristy. The walls are made of cobblestone and grison rubble, while the twelve buttresses are sandstone. The steeply pitched roof is covered with tiles, and, practically in its center, stands a bell tower with a hexagonal base crowned by a spire of the same shape. The western door is framed by two buttresses: it is surmounted by a rose window that probably dates from the 19th-century construction campaign. In the south wall, at the level of the first bay, a blocked, semicircular-arched entrance door suggests a Romanesque construction. From the second bay, light streams in generously through eight openings: semicircular arches for those in the nave and Gothic-style for the four choir bays; a fifth, axial, was blocked when the altarpiece was installed. The 16th-century stained-glass windows were destroyed during a bombing raid during the Second World War; only a few elements, listed as Historic Monuments, remain in the sacristy. The vault, covered with shingles, must have been painted, as evidenced by the hallmark decorated with black and white diamonds and chevrons, likely from the 16th century. The great simplicity of the architecture is offset by the relative richness of the furnishings. The late 15th-century stone statues representing Saint Barbara, a religious figure without attributes, and two angels from the same period constitute a fine example of Gothic sculpture, albeit lacking the two angels purchased in the early 20th century for the Louvre, where they are now on display. The choir's layout could date back to the time of Madame de Pompadour: the doors, open on either side of the central section, are surmounted by two painted and gilded wooden statues, Saint Peter and Saint Sebastian. The central section is crowned by God the Father, and the canvas depicts Saint Peter freed from his chains by an angel. A fragmentary funerary liter is still visible inside and outside. In 2003, the Sauvegarde de l'Art Français (French National Art Foundation) granted €10,000 in aid to help repair the structure and roof of the building, whose condition had been aggravated by the 1999 storm.

Mentioned in 1159 as a possession of the chapter of Chartres, the oldest parts of the church of Saint-Léger, the nave and western façade, must date back to the 11th century. The nave, 15 m long and 7 m wide, is built from small rubble stones embedded in mortar. Only the corner quoins of the façade and the semicircular arch of the entrance door are made of dressed stone. In 1514, a larger choir (10 m X 10 m) finished by a flat wall, was added to the east. Some of its pointed arched bays have retained their beautiful tracery. The entire choir and nave are covered by a beautiful framework in the shape of an inverted hull. A significant decoration, created in the 18th century, woodwork, stalls, work bench, glory arch, lectern, and communion railing have been fortunately preserved. Traces of medieval wall paintings and a coat of arms were spotted on the walls, as well as ancient graffiti on the exterior. A 12th-century stone baptismal font and a 15th-century stone statue of Saint Léger are listed as Historic Monuments. A slate bell tower, topped with a slate spire, rises above the slightly recessed gable of the western façade. The Sauvegarde de l'Art Français (French Art Protection Agency) granted aid of 100,000 francs in 1992 and then 40,000 francs in 1993 for essential work on the framework and roof.

The Saint-Rémy church in Saint-Rémy-sur-Avre is dedicated to Saint Remi of Reims, Bishop of Reims who baptized Clovis in 496 in the Notre-Dame Cathedral of Reims. In the 12th century, it marked the border between the Duchy of Normandy and the French royal domain on which Saint-Rémy-sur-Avre depends. It is a flamboyant Gothic church from the 15th century, probably rebuilt since we have mention of its existence since the end of the 11th century.

The construction could date back to the beginning of the 12th century. The nave ends with a chancel with a four-sided apse. A bell tower outside the work is located against the west wall. A seigneurial chapel was built to the north of the chancel. The study of the framework has made it possible to determine several construction phases: 1117-1190, 1274, 1487-1520. The interior walls retain a painted historiated decoration on the back of the west portal, probably representing a dance of death, which could date back to the 1500s. The large funeral chapel built between 1577 and 1585 probably goes back to the architect Métezeau. Its decoration is representative of the end of Mannerism and the Henri IV style. The stained glass windows were restored by the master glassmaker Raphaël Lardeur and were installed in 1947. Lardeur also created the mosaic Stations of the Cross.
