DreuxDreuxGuide of Eure-et-LoirGuide of Eure-et-LoirTravel Guide > France > Centre > Eure-et-Loir > DreuxRising 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-classic style is the cemetery of the Orléans family. The stained glass windows made in the factory of Sèvres, as well as the recumbent effigies standing in the crypt of the chapel, constitute an exceptional testimony of art of the 19th century. Discovery of the city continues below the royal chapel, with the Saint-Pierre church, the bell tower of the 16th century, 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.
