Saint-Piat Mill

Highlight • Monument

The Moulin de Saint-Piat is a water mill located on the Eure and dating from the 11th century where it was once used for the production of flour and the extraction of oil. You can admire the architecture of the mill, which was extended in 1865, and enjoy the view of the river and the nearby church. The mill is also a good place for birdwatching, as you may be able to see herons, kingfishers and ducks along the water.

Dolmens of Changé

Highlight • Historical Site

The monuments were erected around 3,500 BC, on a peninsula at the confluence of the Eure and a stream that has now disappeared. The dolmens were built in sandstone blocks coming from 3 km. The sepulchral dolmen, known as “Dolmen Petit”, was covered with a cairn made of limestone blocks. A dozen people were buried in this dolmen. The other dolmen, known as the “Dolmen du Berceau”, was used for ceremonies. He never sheltered a body. This dolmen has remarkable engravings on two of its pillars. The dolmens have been transformed and closed, covered with a huge mound of earth and stones.

Pont Rouge on the Louis XIV Canal

Highlight • Bridge

Originally, the Red Bridge was built at the end of the 17th century, namely in the years 1685-1686 on the orders of Louis XIV as part of his vast project to build the Maintenon aqueduct entrusted to La Hire and Vauban. The goal of this project was to be able to transport the waters of the Eure from Pontgouin (located west of Maintenon) to the Palace of Versailles. It was from 1684 that studies were carried out by La Hire who discovered that the Eure was approximately 80 feet (27 m) higher than the castle at Pontgouin.
Maintenon was still to this day an intermittent residence of the king's court, and major work was undertaken, such as the digging of the grand canal passing under the aqueduct, the planting of the banks or the drawing of the castle park by Le Nôtre. .

You should know that until 1838, it is by this bridge that the entry into Maintenon was made. The legend attributes its name to the color of the uniform of the soldiers in charge of its guard.

Maintenon Covered Market

Highlight • Other

A short stroll through fields, suitable for a walk of about two hours for all levels, pleasant, but nothing more, quite "flat". The visit to the park and the castle of Maintenon deserve more attention than this walk.

Maintenon Aqueduct

Highlight • Bridge

The construction of the aqueduct of Maintenon began in 1686 but it was never finished. Indeed, this work of art intended to supply water to the Palace of Versailles was no longer a priority from 1689.

The built part of the aqueduct stretches for 955 meters, more than 28 meters high.
