Here are three charming villages to discover in the surroundings of Rambouillet Territoires, perfect for a peaceful and picturesque getaway.
Rochefort en Yvelines is a remarkable medieval village to discover!
An ancient seigniorial city, it extends at the foot of a wooded hill where you can still see some remains of the fortified castle built in the 11th century by Seneschal Guy the Red.
A former bailiwick, now converted into a town hall, old houses with porches sometimes topped with a coat of arms, streets paved with sandstone and flowered with rose bushes and honeysuckle, small squares with picturesque furniture and planted with lime trees provide Rochefort with everything His charm.
A listed church which dominates the village and which has preserved its ancient cemetery where the princes of Rohan are buried, are all testimonies to Rochefort's feudal past.
In the 19th century, Cernay-la-Ville was an essential stopover for landscape painters: its environment, its landscapes and its inns attracted a certain number of artists, admiring these colorful places.
The narrow, winding streets of the village offer a pleasant walk. In the heart of the village, picturesque shops and restaurants offering local specialties. But the architectural gem of the place, the one that is worth the detour on each visit, is certainly the superb Vaux de Cernay abbey. Built in the 12th century, it housed a Cistercian order until the Revolution. Today it is a trendy hotel complex!
Saint-Léger-en-Yvelines is a rural village located in the heart of the Rambouillet forest!
To discover in this village, the church nestled on the heights, but also the Pierre Ardoue, a megalith from the Neolithic period (around 5000 years BC): it is the most important dolmen found in the Paris region.
Saint-Léger is also the starting point for several hikes in the forest.
