Guyancourt: Holiday Apartments and Holiday Homes

In the heart of the village of Guyancourt stands the Gothic Église Saint-Victor. The church was added to the supplementary inventory of historic monuments in 1951. A charcoal mural entitled “Saint Georges terrassant le dragon” in the Église Saint-Victor was restored in January 2012. Also in the heart of the village is a former farm that was a royal farm in the 17th century and was sold as national property during the Revolution.

Anyone considering Guyancourt as a holiday destination may wish to rent a holiday apartment.
