Thiron-Gardais

Highlight • Settlement

A pretty village centered around its abbey and gardens

Translated by Google •

Tip by

5.25 km

Discover through these medieval gardens the history of the Order of Tiron, which exerted its influence throughout the north of France and as far as Scotland from the construction of the abbey in 1114.

Only the abbey church still remains today, accompanied by thematic gardens of medieval inspiration.

On a surface of 4 hectares, 10 themed gardens are proposed for the visit.

Lovely stretch through the fields

Highlight • Viewpoint

The region is quite hilly and made up of numerous fields with varied crops. These fields with different inclinations and colors constitute pretty landscapes. Few motorists pass through this section, so bicycle traffic is rather safe.

Château Saint-Jean

The Saint-Jean castle or castle of the Counts of Perche is an old fortified castle located at the top of the plateau overlooking the wide Huisne valley, overlooking the roads from Chartres to Le Mans and from Châteaudun to Bellême. It constitutes a remarkably well-preserved medieval motte complex whose history begins a little before the year one thousand.
