Happonvilliers

Happonvilliers is a small rural commune in the Eure-et-Loir department, in the Centre-Val de Loire region of France. The village lies amid a landscape of farmland and small woodlands typical of this part of the Perche and Drouais areas, offering a peaceful, green setting well suited to countryside stays. The commune is close to Châteauneuf-en-Thymerais, a small town with local shops and services, as well as to Nogent-le-Rotrou and Chartres, the latter renowned for its UNESCO World Heritage-listed cathedral, roughly half an hour's drive away. The surrounding region is well suited to walking and cycling, and to discovering the rural heritage of the Perche, with its half-timbered houses and hedgerow-lined countryside. Nature lovers will appreciate the wide open farmland and the tranquillity of the Beauce and Perche countryside. Happonvilliers therefore makes a quiet base from which to explore the architectural and natural heritage of Eure-et-Loir, set among cereal plains and wooded valleys, away from urban bustle yet within reasonable reach of the region's larger towns.
