A Promenade along Eure River
Getting Close to Chartres countryside


Boring and tired with all the hectic days in big cities? And craving to stay away from the crowd, close to the nature... A promenade along Eure river bank is something you should do, if you are in Chartres,


Promenade des Bords de L'Eure, is actually a river bank walkway, situated from Boulevard de La Courtille to Le Trois Ponts bridge. You can start your walk from one side or another.

People use to jogging, biking or just doing a promenade along Eure river to enjoy the natural view.

Want to know what you can see along the Eure river? Learn from my experience doing an afternoon promenade along Eure river with my kids on early autumn as seen on the photos on this page. Enjoy!

Can you imagine how it is nice sitting down on the bench and hear the birds tweeting?

Promenade des Bords de L'Eure - the bridge

We found the first bridge on our way. It will lead you to a small vineyard. If you prefer to pass through the nature, just go straight and forget to cross the bridge. Just like we did!

My little boy said: On va aller à la forêt? Well, he thought this is a real forest.

Ahh... finally I found a red tree! Actually I wanted to see more autumn colors, but I realized that we came to early. I remember that we came here at the end of October.

Although I rather thought that those students looked more playing than observing the nature!
