  • I can't offer much beyond the looks from the outside and the very nice grounds. We didn't do the tour. We needed a little break and it was a Great place to just relax and rest on a blanket on the grass in the shade and look out over the city. If you are interested in the history of churches in France and French Royalty you'd be fascinated and give it a 5. The last of the Louis's was buried here after his beheading in the French Revolution. Many of his predecessors are here too.
  • Chapelle royale de Dreux This imposing site, located high above the city, contains tombstones / tombstones of the post-French period, on each tomb lies a stone statue - a masterpiece of the buried figure, in a characteristic position, With a book, sleeping, with a sword or even covered with a stone blanket. The building has spectacular stained-glass windows with colors (which are not clear) preserved for so many years and it is located on the fringes and under an ancient church and maintained at a high level. In addition, outside the building you can see a beautiful view of the city. If passing through the area - strongly recommended!
  • A beautiful final resting place built for a king. Here lies the tombs of the Bourbon dynasty, richly detailed, refined, offering a glimpse inside royalty.
  • Beautiful Capel with the tomb with the last king of France
  • Basically a mausoleum/necropolis. Remarkably interesting. Apart from all the tombs - some yet to be occupied - there are some fine, stained glass windows.
