The church of La Chapelle-Forainvilliers, dedicated to Saint Martin, is a charming little building of uniform appearance which occupies the center of the village. Attested from 1080, the church, in its current state, does not seem to date back further than the 14th century and it most certainly underwent significant restorations in the 16th century. Some work was carried out in the 19th century, notably on the gable wall of the facade or inside which was redesigned according to the taste of the time. With a very simple plan, the church consists of a single nave ending in a semi-circular apse. It is lit by numerous bays which reveal successive interventions. The southern facade has semicircular openings in the second and third bays, openings which were reworked in the 19th century, and others, wider and higher in pointed arches, in the first and fourth bays; The carefully executed moldings bear witness to the 16th century work campaigns. One of the openings in the apse has a clasp in its upper keystone, probably installed in the 18th century. In the 19th century, a false stonework was designed across the entire nave; the furniture dates from this period. The church is covered with a pleasing roof of flat tiles that contrasts with the slate roof of the bell tower, whose slender profile allows the church to be distinguished from afar. The work to cover the bell tower was necessary and in 1994 the Sauvegarde de l'Art Français (French Art Protection Agency) awarded a grant of 15,000 francs. Unfortunately, the significant damage to the framework soon became apparent during the work. The Sauvegarde de l'Art Français (French Art Protection Agency) awarded a further grant of 100,000 francs for the repair of the bell tower framework in 1996.

The construction of the original church of Sorel dates back to the 10th century. In 1113, this church was destroyed during the siege of the fortress of Sorel by the troops of Henry VIII of England coming from Normandy. Its identical reconstruction was unfortunately halted by a fire in 1134. The current church was rebuilt starting in the 13th century, with the chevet completed in the 15th century, and the first two bays of the nave and the northern seigneurial chapel in the 16th century. The bell tower was built in the 17th century by blinding a window. The building is constructed of flint, lime, and white stone on a sandstone base. The upper part is made of Vernon stone. The tiled roof is supported by a beautiful rafter frame whose tie beams are decorated with chimera heads, also called "howling devils." In the choir, the 19th-century altar recalls medieval sculptures. An interesting collection of stained-glass windows dating from 1850. After extensive renovations, masses have been celebrated again since 2007.

Saint Mary Magdalene was the first to encounter the risen Christ, and she was the first to bear witness to him before the Apostles. A woman disciple of Jesus Christ. There were no half measures for Mary Magdalene, sister of Martha and Lazarus of Bethany. Her taste for luxury and the world, her unbridled libertinism, and her defiance of convention made her despised by good people. Radically transformed by Christ, her gratitude was inexhaustible: she had found the One her heart loved, and she would follow Him wherever He went. It was she who threw herself at the feet of her Lord and perfumed them with perfume before the stunned Pharisees. The first to thus foresee the Passion and death of Jesus, she would be the first to announce His Resurrection to the doubting apostles. Fiery-tempered, she lived her last thirty years alone in a cave, secluded in contemplation of Love. This church consists of a rectangular nave and a side bell tower with a slate spire, which was raised by a floor in the 19th century. It comprises a four-bay nave with two aisles extending into side chapels. The pentagonal choir has a cul-de-four vault supported by early Gothic ribs. It is lit by two Romanesque bays.

Very beautiful pond

Just a stone's throw from Dreux, the Écluzelles lake stretches through the heart of a vast, protected natural area. Popular with windsurfers and paddleboarders, it offers a pleasant setting for strolling along its tranquil banks.

Built at the end of the 12th century by the Counts of Montfort and listed as a Historic Monument since 1889, the Houdan Tower was used to watch for enemies and defend the territory. The Keep consists of a 15 m diameter and 21 m high tower, flanked by four turrets of the same height located at the four cardinal points. From the 16th century until the French Revolution, the Keep served as a prison, and executions took place at the foot of the Tower. The first water reservoir was installed in the tower in 1880. The second, built in 1952, is still visible. Tours are available on certain days.

Beautiful castle (private).

Abondant is located in the Eure Valley, in the immediate vicinity of the Dreux national forest and the important Château de Sourches, which was extensively transformed in the 19th century, and whose grounds were designed by the Duchênes. It appears that the extensive work carried out on the church in the 16th and 18th centuries was due to the generosity of this family. The current Saint-Pierre church succeeds a 12th-century building that was under the control of the canons of Saint-Étienne de Dreux and later the monks of Notre-Dame du Bec. Thanks to parish registers, the dates of its construction are precisely known: in 1508, the roof frame was raised; in 1516, construction continued thanks to donations from Pierre de Guerry, then lord of Abondant; in 1548, the erection of a 60-meter bell tower, which was topped with a cross in 1549. The dedication ceremony by the Bishop of Meaux did not take place until 1604. In the same year, a brotherhood of Charity was created under the patronage of Saint Sebastian and Saint Barbara, which remained
