Tips from the Community
Built in 1882 by the Marquis Armand de Pomereu d'Aligre, to be the "model farm" of Baronville, as well as the marquis' stables, this complex was subsequently constantly used for both agricultural and equestrian purposes. Used as the “Baronville Horse Riding Club” during the 1980s and 1990s, it was the setting for horse racing training and competitions welcoming personalities from the equestrian or artistic world, such as Jean Rochefort.

The Cambray orangery is part of the Cambray estate acquired by François Lambert, squire and adviser to the king, auditor in his chamber of accounts, on March 28, 1575 from the nobleman of Oinville, lord of Puiset. The place called Cambray, Combarius under the Romans, was to be a camp. Combrée also means "bushy places", or Cambray is located along the Conie, bordered by reedbeds. The 2 wings of the rear facade were built at the end of the 17th century, beginning of the 18th century by Jacques Lambert, private master of water and forests of the Duchy of Orléans. We note that they were built after the other parts of the castle, with a different aspect of construction, stone on the one hand and bricks around the windows on the other.

charming establishment with a rural tradition. Since 1951, this renowned former hostel has kept its period cachet with a flowery setting and contemporary decoration like the beautiful residences of yesteryear. Today, it is an essential address in Eure-et-Loir with quality services. The establishment is located in a park of hundred-year-old trees! To embellish the facade, a reconstructed mill has been installed to remind you that you are on the Route du Blé and the Moulins de Beauce.

indeed, a monument to the dead and an unpretentious church, a story from another era.

CHURCH OF SAINT-BARTHÉLÉMY in Theuville is relatively poorly listed, but it is nonetheless a curiosity not to be missed.

Failing to see the castle of the same name, the Carrousel gives you a good image of the architecture of the Castle.

today, the castle and its round towers display a singular silhouette in pink brick in the village. Its history dates back to the invasion of the Romans who set up a farm there to supply Rome with wheat. Over the years this farm was fortified then, during the wars of religion, it became a fortified castle surrounded by defensive moats. Raised to the rank of Marquisate by Louis XIV, the castle was abandoned. Very degraded, in 1760, the decision was taken to ask the architect Liégeon to rebuild, on the foundations, a simple residence, integrated into the outbuildings of the thirteenth century. During the revolution, the property was confiscated and then bought back from the National Property.
