Châteaudun is located on various tourist itineraries: the Loire châteaux, the picturesque Loir Valley, the Wheat Road. More locally, it is the starting point for walks that we invite you to follow.

The Wheat Road, along almost 600 km, is the discovery of a country area, a heritage, traditions, little-known landscapes where many attractions are available: visits to villages, farms, concerts, shows…
A tributary of the Loir on its left bank, the Conie is a river of natural and wild appearance. This very diversified stretch of water offers a wide area of marshland covered with reeds, known locally as "la rouche".

MARBOUE : Village on the banks of the Loir (swimming pool/beach in summer), rambling routes.

SAINT-CHRISTOPHE :  Lush green banks of the Loir, walks.

Listed site Marshes in the hamlet of DHEURY, commune of Donnemain Saint-Mamès: observatory, wash-house with reed roof.
In the commune of Donnemain, it is possible to see areas that have become rare in Eure-and-Loir: reed-beds. Reeds were gathered in these damp areas, as shown by the roofs of houses in the hamlet of Dheury. They contain a high level of biodiversity, such as the marsh fern or rare birds such as the Marsh Harrier.
