Feudal Castle of Fréteval

Highlight • Castle

The Feudal Castle of Fréteval is a castle which dates from the 11th century. You can explore the ruins of the fortress, which covers 4.5 hectares and has three lines of defense. You will also be able to see the keep, one of the oldest circular stone towers in France, built in flint. The castle was a strategic location in the conflicts between the Plantagenet kings and the kings of France, and you can learn more about its history from the information panels. The feudal castle of Fréteval is a remarkable place that will transport you to the Middle Ages.

Château de Renay

Highlight • Castle

Renay Castle is now in ruins. It was built in the 15th century and belonged to different noble families over the centuries, such as the Courcillons, the Rochambeaus, and the Raguet Lépines. The castle was partially registered as a historic monument in 1971, but it has not been well maintained by its successive owners. The last owner is Sylvain Durand, a dealer and collector who made his fortune with the paintings of Fernand Léger. He died in 2018 and his furniture and collection were sold at auction. The castle has suffered from a lack of maintenance and preservation, and has been damaged by vandalism and natural disasters. The tower, courtyards, chapel and chimneys are still visible, but most of the buildings are in a state of disrepair. It is a shame that such historical and architectural heritage is in such a state of disrepair, but the visit remains fascinating.

La Mouline Lake

Highlight • Lake

If you are looking for a relaxing and scenic hike, you might want to check out the Plan d’eau de la Mouline, a former quarry turned into a fishing lake. You can enjoy the peaceful atmosphere and the natural surroundings as you walk around the lake, which has facilities such as tables, dry toilets, and pontoons. You can also try your luck at fishing, but you will need to book in advance on their website. The Plan d’eau de la Mouline is a hidden gem that will make you feel closer to nature.
