The best walks and hikes around Rumont

This door, which appears medieval, does not go unnoticed with its two towers and the battlements of its curtain wall. Make no mistake, it was built in 1928 on the initiative of Mrs. Belmont, an American national, then owner of the Augerville castle. This gate now belongs to the commune of Boulancourt.

Superb little place that I discovered recently.

Behind a door, pretty little wash house.

Château d'Augerville is a historic castle located in the commune of Augerville-la-Rivière, in Loiret, France. It dates back to the 12th century, when it was a hamlet and fort for the d'Augerville family. It changed hands several times during the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, and hosted important figures such as Catherine de Medici and King Charles IX. In the 17th century, it was sold to the taxes and renovated into a country house by Jean Perrault de Montevrault. It remained a private residence until the 21st century, when it was transformed into a 5-star hotel with a golf course, spa and chocolate factory. It is a historic monument, a national heritage site of France.

Pleasant walking path along the river.

The Orville wash house is a 19th century building that draws its water from Essonne. In the middle of the waters, the building is transformed during the harsh summers into a cool and relaxing place.

The Château d'Augerville is an imposing building whose construction dates back to the 12th century. In 1976, it was registered on the list of historical monuments. Today, the castle has been completely transformed and offers a wide range of services: hotel and spa, restaurant, or even golf. If you don't have time to enjoy these, at least take the time to discover the beauty of these old stones.

The origins of this estate date back to the 13th century with the construction of a fortified castle on the banks of the Essonne. Fallen into ruin, it was bought in the 15th century by Jacques Coeur, great treasurer of King Charles VII who used to acquire the fiefdoms abandoned after the Hundred Years War to regroup them as he pleased. The general appearance of the buildings as we see them today comes from this period. But, falling into ruins at several times in history, the castle has lived, evolved and metamorphosed many times. It has remained a prestigious place and now houses a luxury hotel.
