Toury

Toury is a small town in the Eure-et-Loir department, in the Centre-Val de Loire region, set in the heart of the Beauce, a vast plain renowned for its extensive wheat fields and open horizons. The village lies roughly halfway between Chartres and Orléans, close to the main route linking Paris with the Loire Valley, making it a convenient stopover for travel across the region. Its quiet, rural setting is well suited to countryside stays, with typical Beauce farmland scenery and paths ideal for walking or cycling. Chartres, with its UNESCO-listed Gothic cathedral, is within easy reach, while Orléans offers access to the banks of the Loire and its historical connections to Joan of Arc. The climate follows a modified oceanic pattern, with mild summers and cool winters typical of the Paris Basin. Toury essentially serves as a base for exploring the Beauce countryside and the surrounding larger towns, offering visitors a peaceful, largely untouristy environment away from the crowds.
