Vernouillet

Few towns in Centre-Loire Valley have a history as closely tied to the Drouais, the historic country around Dreux, as Vernouillet. Set immediately southwest of Dreux, the commune follows the Blaise valley; this small river continues north to join the Eure in Dreux. Vernouillet is part of the Dreux urban area, where residential streets, local services and open farmland meet on the edge of the Paris Basin. Its identity is closely bound to its larger neighbour rather than to the Loire Valley’s better-known château circuit. The Royal Chapel of Dreux, burial place of the House of Orléans, provides a notable dynastic landmark nearby.
