The most beautiful parks and gardens Eure-Et-Loir

Experience the excesses and splendour of the Age of Enlightenment in this vast park at française  ! It was here that Saint-Simon retired to write most of his memoirs. Parks and gardens, canals and waterways, openings and perspectives make up a fascinating landscape steeped in history. Here feelings of grandeur and decadence mingle with modesty, so much the weight of the place crushes you and elevates you. A romantic ruin set in the middle of all perspectives, the colossal neoclassical castle was decorated by the greatest artists of the time. Designed by the Marquis de Laborde, great financier and banker at the court of King Louis XV, it is displayed on 160 m which have not lost any of their former splendour.

You have to cross a bridge that passes over the Loir populated with ducks to enter Emile Zola Park. This vast green space, on which the palmipèdes are gently between children's games, contains animations for young children, a wooden kiosk to shelter themselves, and a labyrinth. Indeed, at one end of the garden, shrubs form circles and draw the eye by their colour since they are of amazing red. Finally, extended between two arms of the river, the park also allows you to admire washing which are laid on the edge of the Loir. Please note that the Flandres Flandres parking Garage is parked just at the entrance to the garden. 

Behind the town hall of Saint-Eman, the church restored in the autumn of 2012 an elegant washing house bathed in a basin named «La Source du Loir». It is therefore this site that leaves the river irrigates much of the region situated to the southwest of the department of the Eure-et-Loir. But another peculiarity distinguishes the St. Eman pond from: the presence of a hydraulic ram. This system was used to feed the old castle castle from the river. Mechanisms no longer work, but machines are still visible.
