La ville - A part of view of Bonneval
Welcome on Bonneval town website !
A happy valley, between the cathedral and the castles
The district of Bonneval, an hour from Paris lies from the wealthy plain of Beauce to the hills of Perche.
The Loir and the Ozanne rivers wind lazily through it and you can still visit some working windmills.
A long historical past has left a rich architectural heritage, with lots of churches, abbeys, castles, fortifications and megalithes. You can find lots of educational and sporting activities, such as cycling, canoeing; kayaking, hiking, riding, fishing, tennis.
Our "Bona Vallis" well deserves its reputation of a quiet country where both body and mind can restore.
