The attractions of France are well-known: history, gastronomy, culture - yet rarely are these virtues so accommodatingly united in one such charming little package as Chartres. Located just a short drive or train ride from Paris, this beautiful town is the perfect size for a fun-packed weekend or relaxing stay. And ideally situated just steps from the famous cathedral, the Hotel Mercure Chartres Cathédrale **** further adds ease and practicality to your stay.
Bite-sized history Most people have heard of Chartres’s magnificent cathedral, lauded for centuries, yet few realise how many eras, styles and sights are contained just in this one monument. From its mix of Gothic and Renaissance towers, to its famous stained-glass windows and vast tombs below, visiting it is like taking a tour of several historic monuments all in one! Considering the hotel is just opposite the cathedral, you can pop in several times, but don’t overlook Chartres’s other attractions…
A pinch of patisseries The charming old town of Chartres seems to have maintained its quaint atmosphere by only allowing the very best shops to flourish, particularly its bakeries. And as a town that boasts several creations of its very own, including the devilishly good Chartrenser – two shortbread pastries filled with salted caramel – baking is taken seriously! At the hotel, you will find a wide variety of freshly-baked pastries and unlimited coffee to start your day with an energetic boost!
Everything at your fingertips Most of all, though, the charm of Chartres is thanks to its handy, small size, easy to explore on foot. What’s more, all the lights and excitement of Paris are just over an hour’s train ride away. Inside the hotel, the emphasis is on easy practicality, too, with its cosy, well-designed rooms, plus a fitness room, chic lounge bar, and colourful breakfast salon all skilfully fit into the compact, old-town address.
Discover France’s charms in a convenient, manageable package at the Hotel Mercure Chartres Cathédrale ****.
