Much of my childhood was spent in Houdan. I propose to enliven up the above description to perhaps prompt you to make the slight detour if you are dricvving from Paris to Dreux, Chartres and the chateau country; The plat d'ETAIN in center of town on the road that takes through the town is expensive but very good. At the exit of the town on the right hand side of the highway is HOTEL WELCOME, formerly known as Tante NiNi. the name was changed at end of WWII when the Americans came through. The Church is on top of the hill in center of town. Note that the right side square tower has a Wooden roof. That is temporary when in the late 1700's they ran out of money and so made thus solving the problem. Bring a loaf of bread and a bottle of wine to the Church Priest and at mass you will have the thrill of seein your bread of becom the body of Christ which you can eat. In French country churches that is a custorm for the people of the parish to take turns at doing this. Across from the Church is a great Pastry Shop, formerly known as Madame Tasserie. There are about ten fresh bread and coissant bakers in town. Note that the crescent shaped ones are butter, and the straignt one are margarine. If you are lucky you may get there on outdoor mrket day, and or evening dance for teenagers. Just ask or look at the posters.The dungeon has twelve foot thick walls and supports the town water supply. If you have kids you can trust, let them run around that small friendly town. Be sure to have them take with them shoulder patches from their local plolice department. Makes great swapstuff. On a wall about fifty feet from the church is a memorial plaque which will bring tears to your eyes. Ask about the Pierre Le Mee memorial.
