Aristide Sparrow, a successful singer and writer from the turn of the th and th centuries, was born in Courtenay. Time has passed, but no one has forgotten the black felt and red scarf silhouette. This celebrity found his champion in the person of J. Dubois-Bermand who gave him a thesis and then a museum, installed in his property. You will find the cabaret atmosphere of this time, documents and posters during a guided tour accompanied by the master of the places - a personality - who, like or not, will make you grow her dancing at the end of the visit. You can also leave the arms responsible for the two-volume biography he devoted to the poet. The visit is unforgettable…

This museum is the result of a collection of fossils and flint tools from the Val d'Indrois region. It tells the touching story of a handicapped child who communicates only by sign language, and who scours the countryside in search of pebbles with peculiar shapes, which turn out to be fossils or flint tools. The museum also features an exhibition of photos and macro-photographs that plunge us into the undergrowth and moors, where we can come across deer and microscopic fauna skilfully captured by artist Jimmy Bonnard.

Beyond the Chamerolles-Pithiviers line, the great plain of Beauce is not suitable for the large approval gardens. But this green island is worth noting, just before entering Eure-et-Loir.
