Houdan is a charming small town of Yvelines located in Île-de-France. It is on the edge of the Eure-et-Loir, about 30 kilometers from Mantes-la-Jolie and forty kilometers from Versailles and its castle. Limitrophe of Goussainville, Richebourg or Saint-Lubin-de-la-Haye, Houdan takes place in the heart of the Houdan country. Former county of the Ancien Régime, the commune was attached to Brittany in the Middle Ages, before returning to the kingdom of France during the marriage of Louis XII and Anne of Brittany. Today, Houdan is appreciated for its calm and particularly pleasant surroundings. The small town also allows to admire some beautiful buildings dating from these luxurious centuries. But the fame of Houdan comes from its black hen pebbled white that now enjoys a Red Label. Houdan, a popular and lively town, offers visitors some beautiful old buildings such as the Saint-Jacques-et-Saint-Christophe church. It was built in the Gothic style between the 15th and 16th centuries, but has a Renaissance choir. Consecrated Temple of Reason and the Supreme Being in 1790, it presents in its interior a magnificent organ realized by Louis-Alexandre Clicquot in 1739. Vestige of the ancient fortifications of Houdan, the dungeon was built by the Counts of Montfort at the end of the XIIth century. With its twenty-one meters high and fifteen meters in diameter, it is now open to visitors on Wednesdays, Fridays, Saturdays and the last Sunday of the month.
