Hôtellerie Saint-Yves

A simple hotel built on a priory almost a thousand years old, fifty metres from the cathedral. The present building, from the 17th century, overlooks the Eure and the lower town: the rooms have a view of the old town or the cathedral.

The rooms

Fifty, single, double or triple, with sober comfort, all with shower and toilet, spread over three floors. One is adapted for people with reduced mobility. From €60 a night; the buffet breakfast, from 7:00 to 10:00, costs €13, and the tourist tax is €4.10 per person.

Getting there

You enter from Rue des Acacias. It has private parking for guests. From the station it is about ten minutes' walk, uphill towards the cathedral. It is the cheapest option for sleeping next to the cathedral and seeing Chartres en lumières without taking the car.
