Our home has a rich history since the fourteenth century. At that time, it was confiscated from its owner by King Charles V following an apparently political disagreement, and then given by the sovereign to his personal Chaplain as a mark of gratitude. Serving as Church property during four centuries, sold by the State in the French revolution, it was bought by a family in the early 1800s and must have witnessed intense quarrels, with one brother a Monarchist and another a Bonapartist! The property returned to the Church in the early twentieth century, serving as the residence of the Bishop of Chartres for most of the century before passing to a passionate gardener who created a magnificent French rose garden.
Because we have always valued authenticity in our own travels, we welcome you with pleasure in rooms that have been designed for your comfort while preserving their historic character.
Maison Ailleurs means “a home away from home” in French. We would like you to experience it that way, a home where you can enjoy breakfast at your own pace in your room and, later, return to and relax after a day of discovery.
Located 300 metres from Chartres Cathedral, Maison Ailleurs dates back to the 14th century and offers bikes and a garden. The train station is only an 8-minute walk away.
Studios and apartments will provide you with a TV, a DVD player and free WiFi access. Featuring a shower, the private bathrooms also come with a hairdryer, towel heater and free toiletries. Some rooms have a garden view.
Restaurants can be found in the town centre.
The property is 1.5 km from Chartrexpo and 300 metres from the banks of the River Eure. The property offers free parking.
