Chartres, within easy reach of Paris and the Loire Chateaux, enjoys international renown thanks to its cathedral, which is listed by UNESCO as a World Heritage site.
Not every visitor is aware that the city around the palace, with its lovely avenues lined with magnificent plane trees stretching out their arms in greeting, was designed at the same time, as a sumptuous setting for the famous palace...
Come and discover the chateau, the Shell Cottage and Queen Dairy at Rambouillet, set in over 20 hectares of woodland between Versailles and Chartres, an ideal spot for walking and architectural surprises.
