Pavillon de chasse de la forêt de Dreux, Historical hunting pavilion in Abondant, France
The octagonal pavilion stands at the intersection of eight forest paths, featuring a circular base with four sets of steps leading to the entrance.
The pavilion was constructed in 1756 under Louis-Charles de Bourbon's direction, serving as a hunting lodge for nobles exploring the Dreux forest.
The building represents French aristocratic hunting traditions with its strategic location and architectural elements designed specifically for observing forest activities.
Visitors can access the monument through departmental road 928, with the structure being managed by the National Forestry Office of France.
The pavilion's upper level contains four polygonal chambers, while its roof features a lead-covered terrace with stone balustrades for hunt observation.
