Rambouillet

Rich of its ponds, its fauna and its intact flora, of its hiking trails and its bicycle paths, Rambouillet is so widely known for its castle and its park, which sheltered great lords and sovereigns, emperors and presidents.

The historic heart of the city kept the image of the former post office lining the road of Chartres. Houses of the 18th century, the Sheepfold, the Dairy of the queen and the City hall built by Louis XVI, as well as the palace of king of Rome built by Napoleon Ier, but also the church of the Second Empire, the big bourgeois houses of the Belle Epoque or the seaside villas of the interwar period, show the splendors of the city.
