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.

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.

Using the power of moving water to drive a mill wheel is an ancient invention that dates back to pre-Christian times. Thanks to such a construction, human or animal muscle power could easily be replaced by a watercourse - natural or artificial - in order, for example, to grind grains into grain. There are essentially two different ways to drive water mills: either the water simply hits the blades of the water wheel from below to set it in motion; or the water flow is guided above the wheel and falls onto the blades, with this design there is greater efficiency due to natural gravity.
