Travel Guide Les Mesnuls

Although the history of Les Mesnuls dates back to the 1st century, the village didn't really take off until the end of the Middle Ages, with the construction of a seigniorial castle and a church. The town center is grouped around the church of Saint-Eloi and a paved avenue of lime trees leading to the châtelet entrance to the château. The château, listed as a historic monument since 1975, is now owned by the Chateauform company. The hamlet of La Millière, in the heart of the Rambouillet forest, was the site of the discovery of a Gallo-Roman villa in 1963. The Guyonne, a tributary of the Mauldre, rises and flows through Les Mesnuls.
