Elegant building of the Renaissance period, the Maintenon castle is unusual in that it has been Madame de Maintenon‘s residence, the secret wife of the king Louis XIV. Open to visitors, the castle has preserved its square keep of the 12th century, remains of the former fortified castle.

The gardens designed by Le Nôtre, as well as the aqueduct designed by Vauban that crosses the park, add to the charm of the place.
