Thiron-Gardais is located on the D5 which is one of the main access routes to the Perche d'Eure-et-Loir from the Luigny exit of the A11 motorway. At the entrance of the Regional Natural Park of Perche, this charming village has preserved shops and services of proximity, but also numerous leisure activities with an important associative fabric, a swimming pool, a sports hall, a fishing pond...

The borough of Thiron-Gardais was born of an abbey created by Bernard de Ponthieu in the framework of the formidable spiritual and intellectual burst that Europe knew at the beginning of the XIIth century of which he is one of the main animators and probably one of the precursors.

In a pretty corner of the village, the abbey and its park are the pride of Thiron-Gardais. At the end of the 20th century, these places full of history are revived thanks to the association of some towns of the canton who are counting on the tourist and cultural development of the territory of Perche Thironnais...

A prestigious historical heritage: important efforts made in recent years to restore the historical heritage of the village. This work corresponded to a first phase of restoration of the buildings and aims to give the historical monument and its natural environment the attractiveness necessary to make it a tourist and cultural center of quality, capable of signing up significantly in the Regional Natural Park Of the Perche.

The Domaine de l'Abbaye of Thiron-Gardais, an unmissable tourist site of the Perche... Come and discover it, follow Renart le Goupil to discover the Theme Gardens of the Abbey and one of the most influential religious orders of the Middle- Age!

And since July 2016, the museum of the Ancient Royal Military College of Thiron is open to the public, which further broadens the historical heritage of Thiron-Gardais. A visit not to be missed.
