ヴェル＝レ＝シャルトルのおすすめランニングルート

Unfortunately, the church was not accessible when I visited (mid-September 2024). You could only look in through a gate and the dance of death depictions on the left side were not really visible. In front of them were transparencies with skeleton drawings. Maybe those were the depictions...

If you're looking for a peaceful and scenic hike in the Eure-et-Loir department, you should check out Les étangs de Fontenay-sur-Eure. This trail takes you around several ponds created from former quarries and which are now home to a rich and varied fauna. You will be able to enjoy the view of the water, the trees and the birds throughout your walk. The trail is easy to follow and suitable for all levels of hikers.

The walls of the nave of the church of Saint-Orien are adorned with paintings from the 15th century, which are surprisingly well preserved. They represent a dance of death, symbolizing the confrontation between humans and death. To have !

Nice walk along the pond. Trails make it easy to go around the body of water. There are benches, play areas for children. It is a popular spot with local residents.

Lovely sport for a picnic by the river and ford

On the trail of Véloscénie, a peaceful corner by the water for a picnic between the weeping willows. Quiet path, little passage and stone bench.

5.1 ha body of water located in the Eure valley 15 minutes from Chartres town centre. Reciprocal and populated by most pond fish. A population of predators (pike, zander and perch) makes it possible to alternate techniques.

these paintings are quite exceptional and deserve to be appreciated by visitors passing through or not.
