At the turn of this bend in the road, you can see this magnificent castle through the trees, especially in winter when the vegetation has thinned out.
The Château de Neuville, located in the heart of a forest park in Gambais, was built in the 16th century by Joachim de Bellengreville, Grand Provost of the Hôtel du Roy in charge of security and the Court police under Henri IV. Its design is attributed to Jacques Androuet du Cerceau, a famous architect to whom we owe the Louvre gallery, the Pont Neuf and the Hôtel Carnavalet in Paris. The Henri III style building has undergone many transformations over time. During the 2nd World War it was occupied by the German and then American armies, and gradually abandoned.
Since the 1960s and 1970s, the family that owns the place, a descendant of the Marquis de Labriffe who acquired the château in 1795, has embarked on a long and costly restoration program which is still continuing today. To finance this work, the estate is regularly rented for film and television shoots, which is why its silhouette may seem familiar to you. Among the films shot in these places: La vie de château (JP Rappeneau), Peau d'âne (Jacques Demy), Dangerous liaisons (Stephen Frears), Cyrano de Bergerac (JP Rappeneau), Ridicule (Patrice Leconte), but also two seasons of the TV show "The Best Pastry Chef".

Fortified Farm of la Troche

Highlight • Historical Site

This fortified farm was occupied from the Middle Ages, but most of its buildings date from the 16th century. Tradition has it that the building was a sickhouse (or leper colony), founded in the 13th century by the Templars. The main room of the building still bears the name of “hospital” today. Classified as a Historic Monument, it is now a private property that it is unfortunately impossible to visit, but you can observe its proud silhouette in passing.

Château de Tilly

Highlight • Castle

Estate built in the first third of the 17th century, having preserved its park, its outbuildings and its alley of lime trees from the end of the 18th century. The castle stands opposite the church of Tilly, it was bought and saved from ruin in 1936 by François Delalande, his daughter still occupies it today. It is a beautiful Louis XIII-style residence, flanked by its two towers with an original domed roof, in a six-hectare park entirely surrounded by walls.

Neauphlette Church

Highlight • Other

Small stone church surrounded by greenery and groves of lavender, which make it an idyllic place to stop and recover for a few moments. At the border of Yvelines and Eure-et-Loire, you are in the middle of the countryside and all to the west of Ile-de-France, far from the noise of Paris!

Notre-Dame du Chêne Chapel

Highlight • Religious Site

In the 16th century, on the road which links Les Mesnuls to Montfort l´Amaury, an oak tree rises, the trunk of which houses an image of the Virgin Mary, highly venerated in the region. In 1646 an oratory was erected there.
This chapel is erected on an important place of pilgrimage, frequented in particular by Queen Marie-Antoinette. The current building replaces the first chapel destroyed during the Revolution.
