Houdan, a medieval jewel in the heart of Yvelines

Welcome to Houdan, a preserved medieval city with a remarkable architectural heritage. Just one hour from Paris, this city is ideal for a getaway between history and nature.

An impressive historical heritage
Houdan has a 12th century keep, a vestige of an ancient fortress, which offers a panoramic view of the town and the Vesgre valley. The historic centre is marked by half-timbered houses and a superb Gothic church.

Unspoiled nature and rural hikes
The surroundings of Houdan are ideal for walks in the great outdoors, particularly in the Dreux national forest, where you can observe a variety of wildlife and enjoy the calm of the undergrowth. We recommend a hike along the Vesgre Valley, which winds between meadows and old mills.

A local gastronomy to discover
Houdan is renowned for its free-range chicken, an exceptional poultry raised outdoors and labeled AOP. The local markets are also full of cheeses and traditional pastries.
