If you like history and architecture, you might want to visit the Chateau des Buspins, a 17th century castle that was once part of a large agricultural estate belonging to the famous automobile manufacturer Louis Renault. You can admire the elegant brick and stone facade of the castle and explore the park and the garden of the castle, which extend over 6 hectares and are laid out in the French style. You can also see the dovecote, a dovecote which was used to house the pigeons. Don't miss this opportunity to discover a historic and charming site in Normandy.

August 21, 2023, Moulin de Muids

It is one of the most charming and historic attractions in the Eure department. Here you will find a wooden watermill that spans an arm of the Seine. The mill dates from the 12th century and has a unique mechanism that allows the wheel to lower or raise depending on the water level. It is one of the last examples of this type of mill in Europe. The Moulin de Muids is an ideal place to get some fresh air and discover the local heritage. Don't forget to bring your camera to capture great photos of the mill and the river!
