Eure-et-Loire, Centre- Val de Loire, France

The department of the Eure-et-Loir is part of the Centre Region of France. It lies on the route between Paris and the the Chateaux of the Loire Valley. It is the ideal stopping-off point if you are heading for a  holiday in the Val de Loire  or if you are looking for a convenient destination for a weekend or short break in the countryside.                        

Like the rest of France you will be surprised at the diversity of its attractions. For such a relatively small area it is rich with scenery, heritage and recreational opportunities.  From the scenery of the Natural Park of Perche  to the wonderful architecture of the UNESCO World Heritage listed cathedral at Chartres the departments capital. The area also has its own chateaux with a history that connects kings and mistresses, plus gardens aplenty to explore.
