Thiron-Gardais, Medieval abbey town in Eure-et-Loir, France
The village extends across 113 square kilometers of mixed agricultural lands and forests, centered around the remaining structures of the Tiron Abbey.
Founded in 1114, the Tiron Abbey became the headquarters of the Tironensian Order under the guidance of William of Aquitaine.
