샤르트르 순례길에 위치한 오르팽 교구는 몽포르, 프륀레 백작, 포르-루아얄, 샤르트르 주교령의 경계에 있었습니다. 네 개의 요새로 둘러싸인 이 마을은 보스의 밀밭에서 나는 금빛 밀에서 유래한 '오르팽'이라는 이름을 갖게 되었습니다. 생 모네공드 교회는 11세기에 세워졌고 16세기에 교구로 지정되었습니다. 골조는 1552년, 종은 1556년에 만들어졌습니다. 17세기의 다색 나무 조각상인 아빌라의 성녀 테레사 상이 성가대석 근처에 있습니다. 또한 기둥에는 몽포르의 사자를 나타내는 문장이 있습니다. 예배당과 종탑은 건물 나머지 부분보다 오래되었을 수 있습니다. 큰 신랑은 작은 측면 신랑의 확장으로 인한 것일 수 있습니다. 실제로 측면 신랑과 중앙 기둥은 교회의 다른 요소보다 오래된 것으로 보입니다. 교회는 19세기 말에 큰 화재로 큰 신랑의 볼트가 파괴되고 남쪽 벽이 손상되어 재건되었습니다. 현재의 스테인드글라스는 1914년 샤르트르의 유리 공예가인 샤를 로랭이 제작했습니다. 인물들은 기증자들의 모습으로 묘사되어 있습니다. 성수반은 16세기로 묘사되어 있지만 아마도 더 오래되었을 것입니다. 17세기와 19세기의 여러 그림이 교회 벽을 장식하고 있습니다. 주 제단과 성 요셉 제단은 1850년대에 만들어졌습니다.

The tower of the church of Sainville, as well as the choir and the first three bays of the main nave, are in the Transitional Romanesque style from the end of the 12th century; the rest of the main nave and the side aisles appear to date only from the 15th century. The bell tower contains three bells. The largest, listed as a historic monument, is engraved with a quatrain: "Founded smokes all new I am the Patron of Sainville, I bear the name of St. Peter. In the year 1014. XLIX." (1549) The second, from 1821, bears this inscription: "Blessed be the Lord God of Israel, for he has visited and redeemed his people." Gospel of Saint Luke, chapter 1, verse 68. The third is located above the other two.

According to tradition, the church choir covers the remains of an older building, possibly dating back to the 6th century, which was built to house the saint's body. According to current knowledge, the commune of Saint-Piat (Sanctus Piatus in Latin) officially appeared in 1087, mentioned in a charter of the Nottonville Priory (Eure-et-Loir), on which it depended. The current building was rebuilt during the time of Francis I, as suggested by the date 1535 engraved on two buttresses of the apse and the date 1542 engraved on a piece of wood from the vault. This is according to a study by the SAEL (Eure-et-Loir Archaeological Society). The three-sided apses, the dripstone towers (horizontal members projecting from a wall), and the sculpted roof structures are a testament to the importance of the reconstructions carried out in the department during the 16th century. The church of Saint-Piat is one of them. While the church has not been officially recognized, it nevertheless contains objects that have attracted attention both for their antiquity and quality, but not always for good reason. Their artistic value, far from attracting only religious or aesthetic interest, has also aroused a covetousness that, unfortunately, remains for some of them. Fortunately, those still in place are carefully cared for and offer the curious a story to discover, a beauty to slowly ponder as they progress toward the choir.

Many centuries ago, our ancestors discovered the possibility of harnessing the power of the elements—which, while helpful and useful on the one hand, could also be a threat as untamed forces of nature—for various purposes, thus eliminating the need for human or animal muscle power. Mills like these are a good example of the human engineering skills of earlier generations: The heavy millstones used to grind grain or press oil, for example, could be powered by wind or—as in this case—water.

Don't be surprised if you spot flamingos 🦩 on the banks of the pond. They're still there, despite the park being closed for many years.

Bench, greenery, river and shade for a bite to eat or a break.

The Moulin de Saint-Piat is a water mill located on the Eure and dating from the 11th century where it was once used for the production of flour and the extraction of oil. You can admire the architecture of the mill, which was extended in 1865, and enjoy the view of the river and the nearby church. The mill is also a good place for birdwatching, as you may be able to see herons, kingfishers and ducks along the water.
