Guillerval: Holiday apartments and houses

Guillerval lies along a section of the Way of St. James: the Chemin de Saint-Jacques de Compostelle runs directly in front of the church here.

Anyone wishing to travel to Guillerval and rent a holiday apartment can include the village in their personal travel plans.

Culture

At the Manoir de Villezan, there are two mullioned windows with twin-arched arcades supported by small columns. The square tower is attached to the dovecote and merges into the main residential building.

At the Lavoir Saint-Gervais, traditional laundry was generally done in two separate basins: one for scrubbing and one for rinsing. The lance-shaped wayside cross, Croix Dujat, also stands on the cemetery road in Guillerval.

The Moulin de Pontachat is a historic 17th-century mill in Guillerval. Visits can be requested daily throughout the year via the Guillerval town hall.

Nature

The Guillerval area is protected as a registered site and bears the designation “Vallée de la Juine Amont”.
