Anet

Anet (French pronunciation: [anɛt]) is a commune in the Eure-et-Loir department in the Centre-Val de Loire region of north-central France.

It lies 14 km north-northeast of Dreux between the rivers Eure and Vesgre, the latter flowing into the former some 4 km northeast of Anet town hall.

The town possesses the remains of a castle, the Château d'Anet, built in the middle of the 16th century by Henry II for Diana of Poitiers.

Near it is the plain of Ivry-la-Bataille, where Henry IV defeated the armies of the Catholic League in 1590.

[3] The opening scene of the James Bond film "Thunderball" was shot in Anet.
