For travellers choosing Égreville, the desire to rent a holiday apartment may form part of their own travel planning.
Culture and History
The Château in Égreville is listed in the Supplementary Inventory of Historic Monuments of France (I.S.M.H.). It is privately owned and cannot be visited. Massenet bought the Château in 1899 and had it restored again.
Les Champarts et la Recette were formerly the outbuildings of the Château; the main part dates from the 15th century. The Eglise Saint-Martin was rebuilt in the 15th century after being damaged during the Hundred Years’ War. Its belfry formerly served as a watchtower, was added to the church in the 16th century and became its main entrance. The Eglise Saint-Martin is not accessible during services and private events.
La Halle d'Egreville replaced an earlier market hall at the end of the 15th century; the earlier hall had been destroyed in the fire of 1282.
Countryside and Hiking
Egreville – Le bois de la Brandelle is a marked hiking route. It is marked with yellow signs from Codérando and initially follows the edge of the forest, then passes through woodland along the Noues valley.
