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.

Using the power of moving water to drive a mill wheel is an ancient invention that dates back to pre-Christian times. Thanks to such a construction, human or animal muscle power could easily be replaced by a watercourse - natural or artificial - in order, for example, to grind grains into grain. There are essentially two different ways to drive water mills: either the water simply hits the blades of the water wheel from below to set it in motion; or the water flow is guided above the wheel and falls onto the blades, with this design there is greater efficiency due to natural gravity.

One of the many mills formerly in operation on the Oeuf.

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.

Castle built in the 13th century under Philippe Auguste. A walkway allows you to move around the curtain walls and access its four towers. Nice view of the Gâtinais, the Beauce. We can also see the Forest of Orléans in the distance. You will find visiting times and prices here: https://yevre-la-ville.fr/visites/

Pithiviers is a commune located in the heart of Beauce, in the hollow of the Egg. In a very rural Beauce, Pithiviers is a historical and cultural lung. The Château de Bellecour, the Saint-Georges collegiate church, the town hall or the Place du Martroi are just a few examples of the many curiosities that swarm the city. With 9,000 inhabitants, the city has all types of shops, from accommodation to restaurants. Wander the alleys of its old center to find a pretty table or a comfortable mattress. The Pithiviers train station is now closed to the public, but buses from the Ulys network serve daily Orléans (line 20) and Montargis (line 11) where a train station allows travel to Paris.

Along the GR 32 and the Egg, the plain fortress is an architectural curiosity that walkers cannot miss.
