Tips from the Community
To admire the Château de la Madeleine from the town center of Chevreuse (France), simply look up at the hill overlooking the Yvette valley. The medieval fortress stands right above the village, offering picturesque views from the bridges over the river and from the alleyways

Placed under the patronage of Saint Peter, this building dates from the 16th century. On the south wall of the nave, some layers of stones arranged in a "herringbone" pattern and two small obstructed Romanesque windows suggest that this part of the building dates back to the 12th century. This parish was abolished during the Revolution to become an annex of the church of Épemon. This was followed by numerous disputes between the inhabitants of Droue and the municipality of Épemon. The latter appropriated the furniture, although it was partially owned by the inhabitants of Droue. Abandoned, the building soon deteriorated. Deemed "useless", it almost was demolished in 1811 at the request of the municipality of Épernon. However, the inhabitants of Droue repaired their church and obtained, in 1847, that it be erected again as a parish. Its plan is characterized by a very narrow main vessel (6.10 m) of three bays. In its extension, the choir ends with a three-sided apse. The nave is doubled to the north by a lean-to side aisle 3.60 m wide. On either side of the choir rise a chapel to the north and a quadrangular tower to the south with three dripstones surmounted by a slate roof. The building is constructed of sandstone and rubble: sandstone is used for the buttresses and the framing of the openings. Inside, the nave, the choir and the side aisle are crowned with a pointed arch wainscot. The exposed framework is decorated with various sculptures; dates are noted: 1635 on the vault, 1556 and 1573 on beams. The openings are pointed arches; those of the choir and the chapel have some fragments of old stained glass. The arcades that separate the main nave from the side aisle rest on octagonal pillars. The furniture has disappeared with the exception of a curious crucifix adorned with the instruments of the Passion which constitutes an interesting witness of the piety of the 16th century. For the restoration of the masonry, the installation of a new framework and a chestnut vault, the Sauvegarde de l'Art français awarded a grant of €22,867 in 2000.

Ideal for a coffee break. There's a bar and a pastry shop that makes delicious macarons! There's a water fountain next to the church, a little further on.

This climb is really not in good condition, its tight turns are not very safe (cars braking at the last moment).
