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.
