Forteresse médiévale et village de Yèvre-le-Châtel

The recently restored fortress of Yèvre-le-Châtel is one of the major tourist sites of Loiret, located at the heart of the "Route du Blé". Built under the command of Philippe Auguste in the early 13th century, the fortress soars up, lofty and grand, behind the bridge-head, with 10-metre wide moats and 3-metre thick ramparts… Down below, enjoy a stroll around the narrow streets planted with flowers to discover the lower courtyard and beautiful stone houses, the château and Saint-Lubin church admired by Victor Hugo. A charming tour, made even more beautiful in summer when the surrounding countryside is ablaze with a multitude of colours.
