Pierres

Pierres is a village in the Eure-et-Loir department, in the Centre-Val de Loire region, located a few kilometres north of Chartres, within the Eure valley. This rural village enjoys a peaceful setting, characterised by the typical agricultural landscapes of the Beauce plain and natural surroundings along the river. Its proximity to Chartres, renowned for its UNESCO World Heritage-listed cathedral, makes it a convenient base for exploring the region's architectural and religious heritage while enjoying a quiet countryside atmosphere. The surrounding area offers opportunities for walks and cycling along the Eure river, as well as visits to small, characterful villages typical of the Chartres countryside. The Centre-Val de Loire region is also known for its local gastronomy, including goat's cheese and wines from the nearby Loire valley. Pierres therefore serves as an unassuming starting point for discovering a rural and heritage-rich area, offering a balance between countryside tranquillity and easy access to the tourist attractions of Chartres and its surroundings.
