Tips from the Community
The Cambray orangery is part of the Cambray estate acquired by François Lambert, squire and adviser to the king, auditor in his chamber of accounts, on March 28, 1575 from the nobleman of Oinville, lord of Puiset. The place called Cambray, Combarius under the Romans, was to be a camp. Combrée also means "bushy places", or Cambray is located along the Conie, bordered by reedbeds. The 2 wings of the rear facade were built at the end of the 17th century, beginning of the 18th century by Jacques Lambert, private master of water and forests of the Duchy of Orléans. We note that they were built after the other parts of the castle, with a different aspect of construction, stone on the one hand and bricks around the windows on the other.

charming establishment with a rural tradition. Since 1951, this renowned former hostel has kept its period cachet with a flowery setting and contemporary decoration like the beautiful residences of yesteryear. Today, it is an essential address in Eure-et-Loir with quality services. The establishment is located in a park of hundred-year-old trees! To embellish the facade, a reconstructed mill has been installed to remind you that you are on the Route du Blé and the Moulins de Beauce.

CHURCH OF SAINT-BARTHÉLÉMY in Theuville is relatively poorly listed, but it is nonetheless a curiosity not to be missed.
