Le Parvis

We arrived to find them laying concrete in the front of the cathedral and general construction chaos that made threading our way to the B&B tricky. It didn't matter. loved this place -- We were in the St. Louis room and had a little sitting room which was handy since I always get up earlier than my husband. (snapshot provided) The bed was comfortable; there were extra pillows; the extra comforter came in handy since it was chilly when we were there. Old but with attention to modern convenience from heat you can control and bathroom heat bar, as well as a little kitchen in a cupboard with refrigerator and such which would come in handy if you were spending a longer time here. Breakfast was gracious and ample -- fresh OJ, really good coffee with plenty of hot milk I could add as is my habit -- basket of baked goods, yogurts, meat and cheeses, fruit. Anything you could want to start the day. We liked having a stairway right outside our room that delivered us to the side of the Cathedral. Once the construction work is done, it will be even more convenient. We were there for the illuminations and found this the perfect place to stay.

The location of this hotel is absolutely unbeatable. We stayed in the top floor room, called Ange, and the cathedral was literally right outside our window. Be aware that this hotel was built in the 12th century and it's definitely not a Marriott. There are lots of stairs and the rooms are all different and have their own character. The top floor room did not have a shower. There was a large whirlpool tub and you have to sit in the tub and use a handheld shower attachment. We loved the quirks of this hotel and would gladly stay there again. The breakfasts were fantastic and the host was a accommodating.

Great small funky old hotel. Located right at the cathedral. Very friendly staff. Carried our 3 x heavy bags up two floors. Got us parking pretty much infront of the hotel. Great breakfast with lots to eat. All friendly staff. Nice restaurant with great atmosphere. Highly recommended. Made our visit special.

The hotel is just across the road from the Chartres Cathedral, and our room (Henry IV) had a sitting area with a direct view of it. A very nice breakfast with fresh squeezed orange juice was included in the room price. We were told the building was built in the 1200’s!! It was a thrill to know we were staying in a building with such history! (FYI - no elevator)

We were walk ins and took the last room Penelope, complete with circular bed and somewhat garish decor. Despite being v busy, host and hostess gave excellent service and warm welcome. Spacious accommodation, spacious bathroom, excellent cleanliness. Quirky charming old building, directly next door to Chartres cathedral (fascinating place to visit). Breakfast was simple but delicious and plentiful. Parking free in cathedral car park. Given pass to come and go as we wished. Also given excellent directions on departure. Hotel is a little tricky to get to at first by car because it is inside the traffic controlled historic inner town zone. But worth the effort because you are right in the centre with free secure parking and freedom to move car as you like. Impressed with high standards.

This little hotel alongside the Notre Dame Cathedral is beautiful. It combines a medieval building with a sense of modern style. It feels so French! The rooms are very comfortable and spacious, with elegance and practicality well balanced. The breakfast was a standard continental one, but good. Parking is difficult because of roadworks and restricted access, but the owner was very helpful with directions and a map. We loved it.

Fabulous location- close to everything. Friendly and helpful owner. The room was very clean and had everything we needed. Breakfast was great - fresh orange Juice, yoghurt, fruit, bread and cheese and croissants. A beautiful town that doesn’t feel too touristy

Where to start? Firstly, if travelling by car, pay close attention to the directions they send you and look at the photos they provide. To drop off your luggage you need to enter the bollard controlled area and drive in front of the cathedral. Drop your luggage and you'll be given a key card to park in the close by Cathedral car park. Second. What a wonderful building. We were in the top floor 'Angles' room (I guess so called because of the angles but perhaps it is French for angels as you are 'up in the gods') and it was more of a suit. Wonderfully quirky, imaginatively decorated and very comfortable. The only 'downsides' were (i) it was at the top of a steep narrow staircase (we did wonder how they got the furniture up there). Not a problem for us (added to the charm) but if you have any mobility issues it is not for you, and (ii) because of the topology of the room there was no stand-up shower, just a handset over the bath. Third. Breakfast in the restaurant below. A nice cold spread with freshly pressed orange juice and coffee. You can't get more central and, if you like quirky old buildings, i couldn't recommend it highly enough.
