Royal Chapel of Saint-Louis of Dreux

Highlight • Religious Site

The Royal Chapel of Saint-Louis was built from 1816 on the site of the former fortress of the Counts of Dreux, whose ramparts can be seen. It was enlarged by King Louis-Philippe, who made it the necropolis of the members of the Orléans family. The recumbent figures of the royal family were commissioned from the greatest names in 19th century sculpture: Millet, Barre, Lenoir, Pradier and Mercié. The Sèvres factory also delivers painted and enamelled stained glass windows inspired by religious or historical compositions in which the greatest artists of the time collaborated, Delacroix, Ingres, Vernet, Flandrin and Larivière. Viollet-le-Duc also designed the Gothic pinnacles framing the representations of the characters.
The building is currently undergoing restoration.
At the entrance to the monument, panoramic view of the town of Dreux from the ramparts.

a small technical passage when returning to the forest. you have to be in the right gear when climbing. stopping on the hill is a little complicated for someone who is taking up the discipline. itinerary not recommended during hunting parties.

Saint Nicholas Church

Highlight • Other

The construction of the original church of Sorel dates back to the 10th century. In 1113, this church was destroyed during the siege of the fortress of Sorel by the troops of Henry VIII of England coming from Normandy. Its identical reconstruction was unfortunately halted by a fire in 1134.
The current church was rebuilt starting in the 13th century, with the chevet completed in the 15th century, and the first two bays of the nave and the northern seigneurial chapel in the 16th century. The bell tower was built in the 17th century by blinding a window. The building is constructed of flint, lime, and white stone on a sandstone base. The upper part is made of Vernon stone.
The tiled roof is supported by a beautiful rafter frame whose tie beams are decorated with chimera heads, also called "howling devils." In the choir, the 19th-century altar recalls medieval sculptures. An interesting collection of stained-glass windows dating from 1850.
After extensive renovations, masses have been celebrated again since 2007.

Eure Valley Greenway

Highlight • Cycleway

This is a beautiful 22-kilometer, fully paved cycle path. A pleasant ride in all seasons! However, be careful at every intersection with the road. Not all drivers necessarily notice this cycle path.

Sorel Castle

Highlight • Castle

The Château de Sorel, is a 17th century castle located on a hill overlooking the Eure and offering a panoramic view of the surrounding countryside. One can imagine the life of its former inhabitants, such as Antoine de la Viefville, Marquis d'Orvillers, who built it in 1650. The castle is also linked to the famous playwright Beaumarchais, whose wife and daughters performed there in 19th century. The hike to this spot is suitable for all ages and fitness levels, and a great way to discover a hidden gem of French heritage.
