Pithiviers

Highlight • Settlement

Pithiviers is a commune located in the heart of Beauce, in the hollow of the Egg. In a very rural Beauce, Pithiviers is a historical and cultural lung. The Château de Bellecour, the Saint-Georges collegiate church, the town hall or the Place du Martroi are just a few examples of the many curiosities that swarm the city.

With 9,000 inhabitants, the city has all types of shops, from accommodation to restaurants. Wander the alleys of its old center to find a pretty table or a comfortable mattress.

The Pithiviers train station is now closed to the public, but buses from the Ulys network serve daily Orléans (line 20) and Montargis (line 11) where a train station allows travel to Paris.

Saint Lubin Chapel

Highlight • Historical Site

At its height of popularity, the town of Yèvre-le-Châtel obtained permission to build a second church outside its fortifications. However, this church was never completed, as the village declined following the Hundred Years' War. The ruins moved Victor Hugo, who described them in a romantic style, and the resulting renewed renown led to their classification as historical monuments.

Ruins of the Château des Deux Tours and Théâtre des Minuits Garden

Highlight • Historical Site

Through this alley, over the stone wall, you can enjoy a pleasant view of the ruins of the Château des Deux Tours and the garden of the Théâtre des minuits. The ruins correspond to the last vestiges of one of the two medieval castles built here by the powerful abbey of La Ferrières en Gâtinais. Work is undertaken every summer to restore and enhance the site. This historic site has been invested by the Théâtre des Minuits, to make it a place of cultural life, creation and representation. The land extending behind the ruins has been developed into a free garden, far from the conventions of the French garden. It houses in particular a rose garden comprising more than 200 rose bushes.
