Ideally situated, only 35 minutes from Paris, near the ruins of its fortified castle destroyed in 1419, then rebuilt at the end of the 15th century by Anne of Brittany, Montfort L’Amaury has inspired more than one artist and musician. Maurice Ravel found his inspiration here for many years, and Victor Hugo came to stay on various occasions.
Montfort’s cobble-stone streets and intertwined half-timbered houses, decoration boutiques, pastry shops, cafés and restaurants, have kept their charm and authenticity throughout the ages.
On the edge of the Rambouillet forest, one finds in Montfort, both the tranquility and comfort of a city that lives with its time.
