Nogent-sur-Eure

By following this route, connect by bike the Notre-Dame Cathedral of Paris to Mont Saint-Michel, two emblematic sites of French heritage!

Cross the plains of Beauce, greet the memory of Proust by tasting a madeleine in Illiers-Combray and enter the Perche with its green valleys.

Follow in the footsteps of Marcel Proust, "In Search of Lost Time"!

The bucolic route dotted with ponds, meadows, and small villages follows the Eure valley in the countryside around Chartres.

Very close to Chartres, the Fontenay-sur-Eure site features a series of water bodies from former gravel pits that attract many water birds. 

Between dozens of ponds and the Eure valley, the circuit passes the Jean Moulin memorial in La Taye.
