Tips from the Community
Very beautiful village which is definitely worth the detour. You can notably discover its castle, built in the 13th century under Philippe Auguste. Don't hesitate to dismount and take a walk in the pedestrian part of the village.

The Château de Courcelles-le-Roi is discreet behind its high walls and hedges, and yet it has left its mark on the history of France, welcoming within its walls some of the most illustrious kings. A former fortified castle whose construction dates back to the 11th century, it was destroyed and rebuilt three times, including twice during the Hundred Years' War. Located on the lands of the Orléans forest where the kings came to hunt, Saint-Louis and Charles VIII stayed there. Anne of Brittany, Queen of France and wife of Charles VIII, gave birth there to a baby, François, who unfortunately only lived a few hours. Guided tours are organized there.

Castle built in the 13th century under Philippe Auguste. A walkway allows you to move around the curtain walls and access its four towers. Nice view of the Gâtinais, the Beauce. We can also see the Forest of Orléans in the distance. You will find visiting times and prices here: https://yevre-la-ville.fr/visites/

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 Ferrières in Gâtinais. Work is undertaken every summer to restore and upgrade the site. This historic site has been invested by the Théâtre des Minuits, to make it a place of cultural life, creation and performance. The land spreading out behind the ruins has been laid out as a free garden, far from the conventions of the French garden. In particular, it houses a rose garden with more than 200 roses.

Yevres-le-Chatel. A romantic and unusual stopover

If the site of Yèvre le Châtel captures all the light, the town of Yèvre la Ville is not without charm with its Romanesque church and the valley of the Rimarde below.
