Dourdan Castle is a 13th-century fortress built by King Philip Augustus between 1220-1222, representing the pinnacle of "Philippian" military architecture with its square plan, defensive towers, and isolated donjon. The castle holds significant historical importance as the birthplace of Hugh Capet, the first Capetian king of France, whose father built an earlier wooden fortress on the site. Throughout its history, the castle served various roles including royal residence, hunting lodge, prison, and military barracks before being restored as a historical monument in 1964.

Beautiful pond with an incredible number of fishermen during the season. Drive slowly to avoid scaring the fish :-)))

Delightful cycle path that winds along the edge of varied reliefs and undergrowth: a real pleasure! To be done at moderate speed, there are quite a few roots.

In the Rambouillet forest, the Tour pond is a body of water not to be missed. A good place to take a break in the middle of a bike ride. It is fed by the Drouette.
