Breuilpont: Discover hiking and heritage

When planning a trip to Breuilpont, there are two distinct highlights to consider: hiking and heritage. The Sentier de découverte des Bois de Breuilpont passes through a variety of landscapes; the château, church, chapel and menhir offer further insight into the area’s history. If you are looking for a hotel, you can decide in advance whether the hiking trail or the historic landmarks will shape your stay more—or whether you would like to enjoy both.

Hiking in and around Breuilpont

The 4.2-kilometre Sentier de découverte des Bois de Breuilpont is a walking and hiking trail through Breuilpont. It passes through a valley landscape, over a wooded slope and across an open plateau shaped by agriculture. Finally, the route passes through old Breuilpont, alongside an arm of the Eure and its washhouses. If you would like your hike to take in both changing landscapes and an old waterside village, this route combines both interests.

When planning, distinguish between the trail and the association’s activities: the Sentier is a named 4.2-kilometre route; Rando Vallée d’Eure offers its members hikes at weekends and on public holidays, starting in Breuilpont and the surrounding area. The association also invites people to join a trial hike.

Château, church and monuments

The present-day Château de Breuilpont was built in 1739 by Louis-Antoine Doublet and overlooks the church and village. By decree of 13 February 2017, the château in its entirety, including the outbuildings and park, was listed as a historic monument. The year it was built and the date it was listed mark two different points in its history: the first refers to its construction, the second to its protected status.

The Church of Saint-Martin in Breuilpont also has Romanesque origins and was extensively remodelled in the 16th century. Its history thus combines Romanesque origins with a major later intervention.

The Chapel of Saint-Lubin de Lorey is located in the hamlet of Lorey in Breuilpont. It was sold to the château’s owner in 1813 and transferred to the municipality of Breuilpont in 2013. The two events are exactly two centuries apart. The Menhir dit La Pierre Frite in Breuilpont is classified as a historic monument. The Menhir dit La Pierre-Frite is located in the park of the Château de Lorey.
