Culture

The Église Saint-Hilaire de Boissets has been listed as a Monument historique by decree dated 6 March 1950. Its oldest parts date back to the 15th century, while the wooden bell tower was added in the 18th century. To the right of the altar stands a wooden statue of Saint Odon dating from the 17th century. The church’s “porte de l’eau”, dating from the 15th century, leads to the Saint Odon spring.

The Saint Odon spring was once considered miraculous. Pilgrims came there to invoke Saint Odon and pray for rain in times of drought. A washhouse was built near the church on Rue de la Vaucouleurs in 1897; its double impluvium roof collects rainwater.

Boissets is listed in Zone 3 of the demand-responsive transport service TaD Houdan Montfort. The service connects stops in the zone with points of interest and vice versa.

Anyone wishing to rent a holiday apartment in Boissets can use the church, spring and Parc du Douaire as local reference points.

Nature
