Courville sur eure

Courville-sur-Eure is a small town in the Eure-et-Loir department, in the Centre-Val de Loire region, located around fifteen kilometres from Chartres and its UNESCO World Heritage-listed cathedral. The village takes its name from the River Eure, which flows through it, providing a peaceful rural setting well suited to riverside walks and fishing. The area lies within the typical landscape of the Beauce and Perche regions, combining broad agricultural plains with more wooded valleys, making it a popular spot for hikers and cyclists. Served by a railway station on the line linking Paris to Chartres and Le Mans, Courville-sur-Eure offers good accessibility while retaining a quiet, village-like atmosphere. The climate is mildly oceanic, with gentle summers and cool, moderate winters. Its closeness to Chartres makes it easy to enjoy the shops, markets and cultural events of the city, while staying in a calmer, greener environment ideal for nature-based tourism and exploring the local heritage of the Eure-et-Loir countryside.
