Étampes Audio Tour: Castles, Churches, and Medieval Echoes

Audio guide12 stops

A medieval bell still echoes through the winding streets of Étampes, hinting at secrets hidden for centuries beneath soaring spires and ancient stone. Embark on a self-guided audio tour through Étampes and uncover stories most visitors stroll past without ever noticing. Trace forgotten footsteps across shadowy courtyards, into majestic churches, and through the crumbling heart of the old castle. Why did royal forces lay siege to Étampes with such ferocity? What mysterious building catacombs lie hidden beneath the Collegiate Church of Notre-Dame-du-Fort? Which scandal forced a noble family to vanish overnight from local memory? Wind through lively squares and silent ruins, each step stitching together rebellion, faith, power, and intrigue. Feel the city transform around you as hidden histories come alive in stone and sunlight. Let the old bell awaken your curiosity. Begin your journey and discover the pulse of Étampes history waiting under your feet.
