One of the best stays I have experienced in France. The location was next to the Cathedral! The room was spacious and facilities excellent. The host was so welcoming and helpful.

Very generous hosts. Huge apartment, very tastefully done up in a historical building. Location moments from cathedral. Off street parking by the front door. A class act.

  • Hello - is there parking available?
    Hi, Thank you for your interest in Maison Ailleurs. You are welcome to park in our private courtyard. Best regards Valerie

  • Is there a lift in the property? Is there a unit on the ground floor? We will have an elderly person with us who will struggle with stairs- Please advise Thanks
    Bonjour, Thank you for your question. I am afraid there is no lift and no room on the ground floor. The stairs are large and the steps are pretty low. We can propose a room on the first floor - garden level - and leave you the key to our garden door.
    Answered on August 12, 2021
  • Bonjour pardon, encore une question svp, quel est le set up de la chambre pour 4 ? 1 chambre, 1 salon avec canapé lit, une cuisine séparée, une table?
    Effectivement les chambres familiales sont organisées autour d'une chambre et d'un salon séparé équipé d'un canapé-lit double et d'une table. En revanche nous ne proposons pas de cuisine mais des cuisinettes dissimulées dans des placards encastrés.
    Answered on June 28, 2022
  • Bonjour, on a deux filles et besoin deux lits pour eux dans le famille suit (68m2). C’est possible ? Merci
    Bonjour, Merci pour votre envie de séjourner chez nous. La suite familiale Mgr Fleury (68m2) propose 1 chambre avec un lit en 160cm et 1 salon avec un canapé-lit double. Nous pouvons ajouter 1 lit simple dans la chambre selon l'age de vos filles :)

Company info

We aim to deliver great memories and hope that you, like us, will be carried away by the charm of this unique French house. We decorated this house to reflect what we ourselves would like to find, a family home that is open and spacious, a quiet haven hidden in the centre of an historic town.

Property info

Our home has a rich history since the fourteenth century. At that time, it was confiscated from its owner by King Charles V following an apparently political disagreement, and then given by the sovereign to his personal Chaplain as a mark of gratitude. Serving as Church property during four centuries, sold by the State in the French revolution, it was bought by a family in the early 1800s and must have witnessed intense quarrels, with one brother a Monarchist and another a Bonapartist! The property returned to the Church in the early twentieth century, serving as the residence of the Bishop of Chartres for most of the century before passing to a passionate gardener who created a magnificent French rose garden. Because we have always valued authenticity in our own travels, we designed our 2 studios and the family apartment for your comfort while preserving their historic character. Maison Ailleurs means “a home away from home” in French. We would like you to experience it that way, a home from where you can experiment Chartres at your own pace.

Neighborhood info

At less than 5 minutes walking distance from the cathedral and the pedestrian area, Maison Ailleurs is a quiet and relaxing place to be. A large choice of restaurants at about max 10 minutes by foot propose a fine and tasteful lunches and diners.
