This door, which appears medieval, does not go unnoticed with its two towers and the battlements of its curtain wall. Make no mistake, it was built in 1928 on the initiative of Mrs. Belmont, an American national, then owner of the Augerville castle. This gate now belongs to the commune of Boulancourt.

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.

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.
