Château de Maintenon - Copyright Patrick Forget www.sagaphoto.comVisit the chateaus of Anet and Maintenon, complete with manicured grounds and elegantly furnished rooms, where France’s most famous royal mistresses held court. Nearby to Maintenon and its famous aqueduct, discover the medieval garden at Bois-Richeux, a must for lovers of history and gardening alike. Poised above the town of Dreux, the 19th-century Chapelle Royale, built for the Orléans family, is a Neo-Gothic treasure. Or simply enjoy the view as you wind your way through charming villages and green forest.
