Rochefort-En-Yvelines: Holiday Apartments and Holiday Homes

Rochefort-en-Yvelines reveals its history through closely clustered architectural and landscape features: the Chapelle des Princes served as a burial chapel for the Rohan-Rochefort family until 1793, while the ruins of the castle built on the hill of Rochefort-en-Yvelines in the 11th century by Seigneur Gui-le-Rouge still stand. On Rue Gui-le-Rouge, many houses have 15th-century mullioned windows framed with sandstone.
