Dourdan, Medieval commune in Essonne, France.
The town rests along the Orge River, encircled by the Dourdan Forest, combining natural spaces with urban development across its territory.
Philip II Augustus ordered the construction of Dourdan Castle in 1220, establishing a strategic military fortress with a 30-meter central tower.
The Saint-Germain-d'Auxerre Church, dating from 1150, displays architectural elements from multiple restoration periods following historical conflicts.
Two railway stations connect Dourdan to Paris and Versailles, providing regular transportation services throughout the day for residents and visitors.
The Royal Forest of Dourdan spans 17 square kilometers, divided by the Orge River, preserving centuries of French royal hunting traditions.
