Peace and ancient beauty in the heart of Chartres, tranquil suites with an exquisite rose garden to wander round

Read guest comments

This grand house, once home to a former bishop and riddled with history, is a short stroll from the glorious cathedral. Each space has its own kitchenette for light cooking, either neatly tucked into the cupboards or in a separate living area. L’Evêché is in the original chapel, with a modern four-poster and dramatic stripes, Bleu de Chartres and Le Jardin overlook the garden, Monseigneur Fleury is gorgeously subtle in pinks and greens, Charles V is on the second floor, elegant in dove greys and soft yellows.

They all come with lovely linen, candles, Nespresso machines, iPod docks and scented lotions in the gleaming bathrooms. You are greeted by Valérie or Marthe, you look after yourselves but can choose to have breakfast delivered to your door. The lovely big garden is yours to wander or find a quiet seat and enjoy the roses.

Find shops and cafés, hire bikes or see the sights on foot. There are plenty of guided tours you can join to learn more about medieval architecture including the cathedral.

Local points of interest from Valérie Genique:

Punti d'interesse locali da
Valérie Genique:

  • Located in the historical town of Chartres, near to the cathedral, to the pedestrian quarter and to the commercial centre, feel home at this historical bishop residence with a rose garden and with private parking.
  • Since 2008 the Chartres cathedral has been benefiting of a major renovation. The renewed gothic features are a window into history as it returns bit by bit to its former self.
  • Located in the heart of the "Comestic Valley", during the warmer half of the year Chartres offers a night-time tour with numerous light shows thanks to the festival "Chartres en Lumières". This will allow you to discover the city in a different light.
  • Near to the cathedral and to the town centre, you can make the most of a moment of calm in the verdant square or under the shade along the edge of the river Eure; call it little Venice. .
  • Chartres is full of activities for each of you. Discover the Musée des Beaux Arts or the Maison Picassiette. Discover and make the most of the Odyssée, the largest aquatic complex of France.
  • Stroll or cycle through the historical centre and discover the magnificent château's of the region. The famous château de Maintenon is only 20 minutes from the town centre. Take a day trip to others such as Chateaudun, Versailles or Paris.

"The perfect B&B. Apart from it being a convenient stopover driving from Calais to the Lot (with private parking), everything about Maison Ailleurs exceeded our expectations. We stayed in the Bishop's room, which has the most wonderful WOW factor with its dramatic decor. Valérie, friendly and attentive without being intrusive, has oodles of style, which shows in the way she has masterminded the refurbishment of the whole building. Her breakfast was nothing short of exquisite. Highlights were the homemade brioche, yogurt and granola, plus the best scrambled eggs ever. Bravo Valérie!"

"Maison Ailleurs is an unforgettable historic building with first rate accommodation. Valerie is a charming and gracious hostess who ensures that you have everything you need, including booking our restaurant for dinner and ensuring that we had everything we needed for breakfast. The location is ideal with a 5 min walk to Chartres Cathedral and the city centre with it's restaurants etc. We plan to visit again. "

"After a quick swing through southern France, staying in four different Sawday's BnB's, we ended our trip with a night at Maison Ailleurs in Chartres. Although each BnB was wonderful in its own way, Maison Ailleurs ended up as our favorite. The combination of style (the brilliant Bishop's Room) and service (the delicious breakfast brought to our room) was unbeatable. There was space for our car, an easy walk into the heart of the old city and a quiet night's sleep at Maison Ailleurs. All around perfection."
