Saint-Aubin-Le-Vertueux: Château, Church and Walking Trail

You can plan your trip to Saint-Aubin-Le-Vertueux around specific buildings and a walking trail. Château du Houlley brings together agricultural buildings and a chapel with a specific date; Saint-Aubin Church features carved reliefs with named subjects. The Circuit Le Moulin Fouret adds a walk with a specifically described forest section. If you are looking for a hotel in Saint-Aubin-Le-Vertueux, you can weigh up whether architectural history, religious art or a walk best matches your travel interests.

Château and Church

Château du Houlley is located in Saint-Aubin-le-Vertueux. Some of its agricultural buildings date from the 16th century. The château’s Notre-Dame Chapel dates from the 18th century and is dated 1769. These details refer to different parts of the château: some of the agricultural buildings date from one century, while the chapel has a specific year of construction. If you are interested in architectural history, you can distinguish between the agricultural buildings and the chapel, which is dated to a later period.

Saint-Aubin Church has a carved pulpit with three bas-reliefs: Joseph and the Christ Child, Louis, and Saint Michael striking down the demon. There is also a carved misericord in bas-relief. While the pulpit brings together several named depictions, the misericord is another carved detail in the church. This offers culturally minded travellers a different perspective from the château, with a focus on the depicted subjects and individual carved details.

Walking and Getting Your Bearings

The Circuit Le Moulin Fouret is a 7.5-kilometre walking trail. It starts and ends in Treis-Sants-en-Ouche and is located in Saint-Aubin-le-Vertueux. Along the way, the route crosses the Charentonne near Moulin Fouret and then follows a two-kilometre forest path. The total distance and the forest section are different points of reference: the two kilometres refer to the forest path, not the entire walk. The place names also have different roles: Treis-Sants-en-Ouche is the starting and finishing point, while Saint-Aubin-le-Vertueux is the location given for the trail.

There is a picnic area at the Prairie de la Charentonne in Bernay. Bernay is the relevant place name for this picnic area, while the Circuit starts and ends in Treis-Sants-en-Ouche. This helps you distinguish between the locations mentioned when planning your visit.

Local Produce and Collection

At La ferme Saint Aubinoise, you can place orders by email or telephone. The selection includes livestock products, including Limousin beef and free-range pork, as well as products from other local producers. Collection is by appointment only. Arrange collection before your visit and check which products are available at the same time.

These topics offer different points of reference for planning your trip: at the château, the dates of the different buildings; in the church, the figures depicted; and on the Circuit, the route length and forest section. For the local produce, collection by prior arrangement is essential. If you are looking for a hotel, you can use these different interests as a basis for matching Saint-Aubin-Le-Vertueux to your own travel plans.
