Bonneval is a beautiful town with still-present fortifications. The old town is surrounded by a wall at the foot of which flows the Loir. This city retains many period buildings such as the Saint-Roch Gate and the King's Tower. Among its must-see attractions, the city also includes the Benedictine abbey of Saint-Florentin-et-Saint-Hilaire, many times destroyed and rebuilt during wars.

Monumental Fountain of Châteaudun

Highlight • Other

This large neo-Renaissance style fountain was inaugurated in 1860 to symbolize the arrival a few years earlier of a modern drinking water supply system in the upper town. It is topped by a dome with lantern and a phoenix, this mythical bird which is reborn from its ashes and which perfectly symbolizes the rebirth of the city after fires, the most important of which was the dramatic fire of 1723.

Church of the Madeleine of Châteaudun

Highlight • Religious Site

The construction of the old Madeleine abbey dates back to the middle of the 12th century. This large Romanesque building has undergone successive alterations as well as a long restoration following a fire in 1940 but it remains the largest and most majestic religious building in the city.

The now stripped interior appearance of the building only reinforces the majesty of the place. The beautiful south portal remained hidden behind the medieval city wall for a long time before being rediscovered at the end of the 19th century. Unlike the north facade, it has retained magnificent sculpted arches from the 12th century. The choir was rebuilt in the 16th century without the large ambulatory which previously existed but you can still admire a Renaissance tomb from the beginning of the 16th century in the apse.
