Dreux, Commune center in Eure-et-Loir, France

The town stretches along the Blaise River, featuring medieval buildings, public squares, and modern neighborhoods across six distinct districts.

The settlement evolved from Durocassium, the capital of the Durocasses Celtic tribe, to become a Roman fortified camp called Castrum Drocas.

The Royal Chapel of Dreux functions as a mausoleum for the Orleans family, displaying architectural elements from the 19th century.

The Dreux station connects travelers to Paris in 45 minutes, while Route nationale 12 provides direct road access to Rennes.
