Rising in the middle of trees in the place of the ancient castle, the Saint-Louis royal chapel overlooks the historic centre of Dreux. This chapel of Neo-Classical style is the cemetery of the Orléans family. The stained glass windows made in the factory of Sèvres, as well as the recumbent effigies lying in the crypt of the chapel, are exceptional examples of 19th-century art.
Discovery of the city continues below the royal chapel, with the Saint-Pierre church, the 16th-century bell tower, the pedestrian streets and the Marcel Dessal Art and History museum.
Lined with footpaths, the national forest of Dreux will delight walkers, cyclists and riders.
