History & geography

History

Châteaudun (Latin ), which dates from the Gallo-Roman period, was in the middle ages the capital of the County of Dunois. The streets, which radiate from a central square, have a uniformity due to the reconstruction of the town after fires in 1723 and 1870.

Geography

Châteaudun is located about 45 km northwest of Orléans, and about 50 km south-southwest of Chartres. It lies on the river Loir, a tributary of the Sarthe.
