Highlight • Other

The construction of the church dates back to the 12th century, and the door dates from the 16th century. It was restored during the 19th century. In 1807, the church was destroyed by fire caused by lightning. It was then rebuilt and underwent many alterations.

Saint-Just Church

Highlight • Other

The first church dates from the Romanesque period but was almost completely rebuilt in the 16th century: a chapel, a two-bay aisle, a three-sided apse and the extension of the north aisle to the west. The square tower dates back to the middle of the 16th century, but was completely rebuilt in the 19th century.

Saint Martin's Church

Highlight • Other

The church of Cintray has been listed as a historical monument since June 15, 1920. This building contributes to the beauty of the Eure landscapes and the richness of France's heritage. Over the centuries, the buildings that have been grafted or agglomerated in the surrounding area have been built within the framework of a social structure: the parish. These buildings constitute references in terms of local architecture, because they are often made with local materials: tiles or slates (from the 19th century), stones (flint, Grison, Seine Valley, sandstone, etc.), bricks or cob, lime plaster and nearby sand or earth. This gives colors that often range from beige to brown or red, and volumes perfectly suited to the Normandy climate (roof slopes, etc.). These churches have been the subject of specific analysis because their surroundings are not completely urbanized. The empty spaces or breathing spaces nearby help preserve their setting. The site of the church is very interesting because, located between the Iton and the very refined village square, it offers, to the south, large visual openings onto the monument. These spaces, little or not urbanized, must be preserved.

Pullay — Church of Saints Gervais and Protais

Highlight • Other

Located in the center of the village, it is dedicated to two twin brothers, Saint Gervais and Saint Protais, who were martyred in the 2nd century in Milan.

Its construction dates from the 12th century. At that time, it included the flat-saddle nave and the choir. In the 15th and 16th centuries, it was completed by the south aisle and the ceiling covering.

The south aisle was listed in July 1932, and the entire church has been listed since September 2011.

Bois Francs Greenway

Highlight • Other

Greenway that allows you to cross the forest on a good quality surface. A well-maintained cycle path, no doubt due to the presence of Center Parcs, just next door.

This greenway is a former railway line that has been converted into an asphalt path for cyclists, roller skaters and walkers.
