Château des Boulard
Highlight • Castle
The castle was bought in 2004 by the Boulard family who restored it. Since then, it is possible to rent it for seminars or weddings.
A 22-hectare park surrounds two guest rooms and is home to wallabies and some unusual animals.

Saint Orien Church
Highlight • Other
Located near the old castle moat, the cemetery flanked it, on the north side in place of the current car park and the multi-purpose room, on the south side at the level of the green space currently planted with lime trees.
Originally only the central building existed and the bell tower topped it in its center. This is the reason why at the beginning of the 1980s, the framework began to collapse, weakened by the weight and the marks of time left by the old bell tower. This renovation proved, if necessary, through the design of the framework, the existence of the central bell tower. The time when the bell tower was moved off-center is at the end of the 16th century, beginning of the 17th century.
Concerning the creation of the sacristy and the side chapels, the departmental archives hold a plan of the church, dated August 19, 1853 which clearly indicates the existence of the sacristy and only the north chapel, the construction of the South chapel was therefore not concomitant.
In the masonry, the small Romanesque windows can still be seen, the only one remaining, unwalled, opens to the east and still today offers a light entrance into the apse.
Around the church we notice two types of buttresses, the first, the narrower ones date from the creation of the building, the more massive ones date from the 18th century, placed as reinforcements
Neo-classicism at the end of the 18th century and the beginning of the 19th century left its mark on this building.
Outside, as we have seen, by the addition of the sacristy as well as the small side chapels now forming a transept.

Saint-Georges Church of Saint-Georges-sur-Eure
Highlight • Religious Site
During the thirteenth century, between 1250 and 1270, the chapel gave way to a church. The parish - which will later become the commune - of Saint-Georges is constituted and becomes the capital of a seigneury of the chapter of Chartres. The church froze its architecture, as we know it today, in the sixteenth century around 1500, when it was enlarged by the construction of the South Chapel.

Saint Hilaire Church
Highlight • Other
The current church was built in the 16th century: a date of 1545 is engraved on a cherub in the turret. It is a very high construction but very irregular, this comes from the fact that it belongs to several eras: ogival style in the windows, the entrance door is Romanesque (it may be the door of the first Romanesque church) . The choir was formerly separated from the nave by an iron grille which disappeared during the French Revolution. The ceiling has pretty paneling dating from 1645. The two side altars are dedicated: one to Notre Dame des Victoires and the other to Saint Joseph. Among the furniture we can note an interesting painting which represents Our Lord pronouncing on a coin.
In 1940, two bombs fell less than 30 m from the church, destroying the stained glass windows on the south side which were replaced by grisailles in 1987.
Three pretty stained glass windows light up this church:
Nativity stained glass window installed by Mr Campin in 1955
Stained glass windows of the village's patron saints, Saint Radegonde and Saint Hilaire, installed in 1900 and 1987 respectively.
