Maintenon

Highlight • Settlement

Situated on the banks of the Eure River, the village of Maintenon boasts a peaceful atmosphere and rich heritage. Dominated by its Renaissance castle and famous for its unfinished aqueduct designed by Vauban, the town invites you to stroll. The ancient streets, the banks of the Eure River, and the Louis XIV Canal provide an ideal setting for a break in the footsteps of history.

Saint-Piat Mill

Highlight • Monument

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.

Lavoir de Soulaires

Highlight • Monument

Beautiful, recently renovated washhouse. Its water is supplied by a spring, not the river. It's a great place to take a break.

The finish line in Chartres

Highlight (Segment) • Other

The greenway runs along the banks of the Eure from Saint Perst to Lisant, and is as peaceful as you want it to be. A moment of tranquility not to be missed.

the Guillaume Gate

Highlight • Other

The first Guillaume gate was built at the end of the 12th century; it is then one of the gates of the enclosure surrounding the city of Chartres. It bears the name of Guillaume de Ferrières, Viscount of Chartres.
Under the erroneous name of "Porte Saint-Guillaume", the building appears on the first list of 1840 established at the request of Prosper Mérimée. It was classified as a historical monument in 1911.

The gate was destroyed by the retreating German army on the night of August 15 to 16, 1944. The protection was not called into question after its destruction.

An excavation campaign intended to understand the architecture of the door is organized by the archaeological service of the town hall of Chartres in several successive campaigns from 2010 to 2014.

Chartres

Highlight • Settlement

From Henri IV to Jean Moulin, Chartres is a city full of history. Alternately a religious, political and then military capital, Chartres has survived the centuries. And if the city has lost its importance at the national level in recent decades, it has managed to preserve the traces of its past to the delight of visitors. Notre-Dame Cathedral in Chartres is a perfect example.
