A pretty tower that is well worth the little climb.

beautiful place that this castle of Saint-Jean de Beauregard especially in spring and summer

The Christmas market, very well known in the region, is held next to the church and attracts a lot of people, to the point that it is sometimes difficult to get around on weekends in December. But it can also give rise to refueling to warm up your belly 😆

At a height of 30 meters and visible for miles around, the “lighthouse of Essonne” inevitably imposes itself in the Essonne landscape. The top of the tower has to be earned, you will have to climb the 138 steps to reach it! At the top, enjoy and admire a magnificent 360 degree view of the department and much more. Indeed, if you easily admire the Marcoussis CNR and the charming town of Montlhéry, it is possible (on a clear day) to see the Eiffel Tower!

High place of the History of France, the castle of Montlhéry is mentioned from 1008 when Thibaut, forester of king Robert II raises fortifications. Its strategic position, between Paris and Orléans, made it a key issue for the Capetian kings. The first castle was destroyed between 1104 and 1107.

Pretty castle, closed in winter (impossible to see from the outside). Dates and opening hours: From March 15 to November 15, only on Sundays and public holidays from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m. (except events)

Pretty castle marking the entrance to the town center of Gif-sur-Yvette coming from the east. The cycle path which bypasses it from the south gives a nice close view.

The castle was built under Louis XIV and in the 17th and 18th centuries was the home of great families of the French nobility. In the 19th century, it belonged to the Duke of Padua, General of the Empire and cousin of Napoleon. It was he who rearranged it to the taste of the Second Empire.
