Lovely stretch through the fields

Highlight • Viewpoint

The region is quite hilly and made up of numerous fields with varied crops. These fields with different inclinations and colors constitute pretty landscapes. Few motorists pass through this section, so bicycle traffic is rather safe.

Notre-Dame Church, Nogent-le-Rotrou

Highlight • Religious Site

The nave of Notre-Dame church dates from the 12th and 13th centuries.

The church does not have a bell tower, the monks of the Saint-Denis abbey of Nogent-le-Rotrou not wanting a new bell tower to exceed theirs. The collaterals were added in the 14th and 15th centuries.

It has been classified as a historic monument since 1907 for its nave and in 1949 for the funeral chapel of Sully.
