Just a Navigo ride away from Paris, in the Yvelines department, you'll discover the medieval town of Houdan, with its surprisingly well-preserved medieval remains, including a keep, ramparts and old inns.
For centuries, the town of Houdan in the Yvelines region of France has organized a lively fair to mark Saint-Matthieu's Day. For the 954th edition, from September 27 to 29, visitors can enjoy a funfair, medieval shows and a village of craftsmen.
In the heart of the Yvelines region, you'll find a pretty medieval town, which still hides many vestiges of the Middle Ages, between keeps, fortifications and old inns. Come and discover them in Houdan during the Journées du Patrimoine (Heritage Days) on September 16 and 17, 2023!
