It turned out that Dreux has the Royal Chapel. The place where France's last king and queen are buried and where their decendatns are entombed even today

this part of the town is very beautiful, but we must not forget that most of the city and its suburbs nowadays look like the suburbs of baghdad , and have a very bad reputation
