Un édifice « Royal » Érigée en 1816 à l’emplacement de l’ancienne forteresse des Comtes de Dreux, la Chapelle Saint-Louis de Dreux abrite les sépultures de la Famille de Bourbon-Orléans. Le premier édifice élevé dans un style néo-classique par la duchesse d’Orléans, est ultérieurement agrandi par son fils le Roi Louis-Philippe, dans le style néo-gothique Un exceptionnel ensemble de gisants À partir de 1830, la chapelle Saint-Louis de Dreux devient la nécropole de la Maison de France. Les gisants de la famille du Roi Louis-Philippe sont commandés aux plus grands noms de la sculpture funéraire du XIXe siècle : Millet, Barre, Lenoir, Pradier et Mercié. C’est ce dernier qui exécute le mausolée du roi et de la reine Marie-Amélie. Le parcours de visite parmi ces tombeaux permet d’évoquer les heures et les malheurs des membres de la Famille de Bourbon-Orléans qui traversent les tumultes du XIXe siècle. Et des vitraux remarquables

The beautifully preserved interior houses a fine collection of tapestries. The Gothic Sainte-Chapelle, built by Dunois, contains some outstanding sculpted statues.

Absolutely gorgeous castle. It is empty, except for some lovely, giant tapestries. The spiral staircase & stone work are dazzling to see. Great view of the town & valley below. There is a small, medieval village next to castle. Short walk to center plaza & nice bistros for lunch.
