Christmas is here
Eure-et-Loir for Christmas Eve

As would say Mariah, all I want for Christmas is Eure-et-Loir !

Mariah on the radio, toys and chocolates all over the store shelves, and little ones eager to decorate their tree,
Isn't it beginning to feel a little like Christmas?
It looks like it, and to get us in the mood, we're taking advantage of the festivities made in Eure-et-Loir to put (Christmas) stars in our eyes!

Chartres in Christmas lights

Every year, Chartres en lumières is THE show not to be missed, with illuminations on the portals of Chartres Cathedral and around twenty other sites in the city.

L'Hiver aux Merveilles "Winter of Wonders" at Château de Maintenon

Françoise, tell us a story

Before she became the secret wife of King Louis XIV, Madame de Maintenon was the governess of his illegitimate children, and used to tell them 1001 wonderful stories.

These fairy tales continues to amaze us to this day, in this latest edition of the Château de Maintenon's Hiver aux Merveilles (Winter of Wonders ), featuring princes and princesses.

Magical entertainment for young and old from December 7 to January 5, with magical nocturnes on December 21 and 28.
