November 25, 2023, Château de Charbonnières

The castle was built on the foundations of a medieval building in the 16th century. It belonged to Jean d'Youville, lord of Charbonnières, in 1557. The castle was enlarged in the 18th century and, in the 19th century, Count Auguste de Chamoy (Count of Chamois), inspired by troubadour architecture, gave it his style Neo-gothic. In 2012, the castle was put up for sale for nine million dollars but did not sell. In October 2017, the castle was sold at auction, without reserve, by Concierge Auctions. Expected for five million euros, it was sold to a foreign buyer for more than 1.2 million euros.

Thiron-Gardais Abbey was the mother abbey of one of the largest monastic orders of the Middle Ages, the Order of Tiron. There is a picnic area and Wi-Fi available inside. The gardens are impressive and highly recommended.

Maintained area with several picnic tables (5 minimum) on the greenway and away from traffic. The Huisne river passes nearby. Ideal space for a bivouac.

The castle of Montmirail is a striking example of the castles of the region. The good news is that you can stay there if you wish, as the castle is now open to the public as a hotel. Make it a weekend run or just appreciate its beauty as you pass by.

Discover through these medieval gardens the history of the Order of Tiron, which exerted its influence throughout the north of France and as far as Scotland from the construction of the abbey in 1114. Only the abbey church still remains today, accompanied by thematic gardens of medieval inspiration. On a surface of 4 hectares, 10 themed gardens are proposed for the visit.
