Do you know of a nice inexpensive hotel/inn/bednbreakfast between Chartres and Versailles- prefer a small town/village or countryside. We are staying in the Loire Valley for several days and then heading up to Versailles via Chartres. <BR> <BR>We would like to be about 1/2 hour from Versailles. <BR> <BR>Thank you!

Can't remember the name of the hotel, but Les Andelys is an interesting town only somewhat between. It is the site of an impressive ruined castle built by Richard the Lionhearted

I agree that Les Andelys is fascinating - - especially the ruins of Chateau Gaillard - - see http://remi.placier.free.fr/images.html for some wonderful pictures of it. <BR> <BR>But it is not at all between Chartres and Versailles. Versailles is very close to Paris, and almost straight west. Chartres is maybe 50 miles, relatively southwest. And Les Andelys is more north than northwest, at least 50 miles out. I really don't even think you could get from Les Andelys to Versailles or Chartres without returning to Paris (or at least the Bande Periperique). <BR> <BR>A place that SHOULD fit your criteria is a place that looks fascinating to me, but I have never been there at all - - www.chateaudejonvilliers.com - - right geography, right price, and hopefully, charming. <BR> <BR>I hope this is information you can use. <BR> <BR>Best wishes, <BR> <BR>Rex <BR>
