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.

These remains, all in all impressive with their red brick and stone curtain walls as well as their ten towers, transport you back to 1544, the date when Hallier Castle was built by Charles de l'Hospital. It is seen as a very good example of transition between the fortified castle and the pleasure residence. Henri IV found Henriette d'Entragues there, his mistress to whom he had made a promise of marriage without ever keeping it. Always linked to the loves of kings, Nibelle, where this castle is located, would take its name from Charles IX, who offered Le Hallier to his mistress saying "Here is your nest, Belle..."
