Fontenay sur eure

Fontenay-sur-Eure is a small village in the Eure-et-Loir department, in the Centre-Val de Loire region, located a few kilometres north-west of Chartres.

The region also offers opportunities for cycling and walking along countryside trails, as well as exploring nearby villages known for their authentic charm. The climate is temperate oceanic, with mild summers and cool, moderate winters. Fontenay-sur-Eure is well suited to those seeking peaceful, nature-based accommodation while remaining close to the amenities and cultural heritage of Chartres and its surrounding area.
