Châteauneuf-en-Thymerais
Châteauneuf-en-Thymerais () is a Communes of France, commune in Eure-et-Loir Departments of France, department in northern France. The commune was once an important stronghold reigning over the whole natural and historic province of Thymerais.

It gradually lost its importance and a dynastic feud was the center of which it was dismembered, so that it became a barony in the eighteenth century, although it was far from having the same extent that it did in the thirteenth century. The city known since the end of the Second World War subsequently went through a fragile revival by taking advantage of its location due to its proximity to Paris, and the employment areas of Chartres a ...
