TOWN PRESENTATION

As the name suggests Marcilly is located near the Eure. It is at the crossroads of Dreux in Saint-André-de-l'Eure and Damville Houdan to the forest of Dreux.

Marcilly is Norman, but his situation is unique, both in terms of administrative geography. It is the border between the departments of Eure, Eure-et-Loir and Yvelines, which fall into three administrative regions: Haute-Normandie, the Centre and the Ile-de-France, and three academies Rouen, Orléans-Tours and Versailles for Education.

We must believe that it is good to live when we see the increase in population in recent years and the number of second homes. In addition, the town is alive with its associations, its artisans and shops. Its living continues to improve. Picnic area on the banks of the Eure and the Couesnon can spend a pleasant day. The town was awarded in 2011, the first prize of county towns and villages in bloom (common from 1000 to 2000 inhabitants) and its first flower in the Haute-Normandie region.

Around 1137, William of Marcilly Fulk and his father founded the Cistercian abbey of Breuil-Benoit under the patronage of Our Lady and St. John the Baptist. After Marcilly come families Estouteville, of Alegre, the Fay, of Dyel. Antoine du Bosc was the last lord of the village. In 1140, monks of the abbey of detached Breuil went to found the abbey of Trappes.

Two tracks: Elboeuf-and Dreux Dreux-Bueil.

Rivers: the Eure, the Couesnon, the stream of the Champs-Ferrets.

The old wounds have healed and pits have become pretty private fish ponds or leisure.
