La fondation d'Aligre

Highlight • Other

The Aligre Foundation stands on the site of the former Notre-Dame de Josaphat abbey, founded in 1117 by Geoffroy de Lèves, and his brother Goslein, lord of Lèves. It served as a necropolis for the bishops of Chartres and was notably the burial place of John of Salisbury, who died in 1180.

In 1791, during the Revolution, the abbey was partly demolished and pillaged. After the Revolution, the remains of the abbey became the property of the Aligre family, originally from Chartres and with a considerable fortune.

In 1968, when the agricultural land intended to meet financial needs no longer yielded enough, the Aligre foundation was no longer able to balance its accounts. It was decided by the board of directors to merge with the Marie-Thérèse Hospice and become a departmental public establishment, known since then as the Aligre and Marie-Thérèse Foundation.

Church of Saint-Prest

Highlight • Other

Before 528, the village of Saint-Prest was called Saint-Jean-sur-Eure.
At that time, the Bishop of Chartres, Ethère, had a building built adjoining the southern flank of the parish church, including a "martyrium" to house the remains of holy martyrs (the legend of Saint-Prest), which were placed in ten sarcophagi.
The most honored relics were those of a certain Priscus; following numerous miracles, the parish took the name of Saint-Prest.


The current church's crypt is the apse of the 9th-century Carolingian church, which replaced a 6th-century sanctuary.

Access to the 12th-century nave, on the west side, is through a beautiful Romanesque portal, carved from beautiful limestone, surmounted by a triple saw-tooth archivolt and framed by two small columns with capitals. On the right, a face would be that of Eve, and on the left would appear the tempting serpent.

Lavoir de Soulaires

Highlight • Monument

Beautiful, recently renovated washhouse. Its water is supplied by a spring, not the river. It's a great place to take a break.

The origin of the Lambert brickyard can be traced back to the establishment of a “thuille” oven, on a farm at a place called “Le Marais”, bounded on one side by the Chemin de Saint Piat à Gallardon and the another by the Chemin de Dionval in Mévoisins.

The last brick firing took place in January 1997, after the sudden death of James Lambert. The factory had not been profitable for several years, but diversifications had been attempted, such as the factory of concrete blocks and the trading of building materials.

Four generations of the Lambert family have succeeded each other in the management of the brickyard.

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.

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.
