CAPITAINERIE DE BONNEVAL

Sur, petite Venice de la Beauce. When you go into an electric boat in this small town, we understand better why it inherited this nickname. Crossed by the Loir, this commune of 4500 inhabitants to the south of the Eure-et-Loir offers an unexpected facet to curious visitors. Starting from the wheel of the boats proposed by the harbour, the amateurs will discover traditional houses on the river with their set-up and decorated washer. These dwellings, dating from the Middle Ages and the beginning of the Renaissance, give a special stamp to the municipality, which is rather proud of this heritage. Some people have even gone further in the development of their architecture by building small scénettes of everyday life. During this passage, several buildings of Sur are visible: the King's Tower, a former th century dungeon still standing; the former Benedictine monastery of the th century, or the small bridge Saint-Jacques and the two ancient towers which constituted the city's fortifications in the XIII century.
