Hiking

The Vallée des Cailles Regional Nature Reserve covers more than 45 hectares of dry valleys, limestone grasslands and woodlands on the edge of the Dreux forest. You will be able to admire the rich biodiversity of the site which is home to five habitats of community interest including a priority meso-xerophilic grassland habitat. You can also discover the traces of human occupation from the Paleolithic to the Neolithic, as well as the remains of a brickyard and a 19th century quarry.
