Romantic weekend near Évreux

The Traditional Stay suits a romantic weekend: the night at the gîte, cleaning and tourist tax covered (breakfast available for €10), arriving at 6 pm and leaving at 1 pm. The late departure leaves time for a slow morning, one last visit to the sauna and a brunch if you ordered it 48 hours ahead.

If you prefer a stronger atmosphere, the Playful Lovers, Along the Water, 50 Shades and Love & Glamour universes share the same times, with rates from €209.

Évreux Cathedral (Notre-Dame), founded in the 10th century and remodelled several times, has a flamboyant Gothic north portal and about 70 stained-glass windows, some from the 13th century. The neighbouring episcopal palace, from the late 15th century, houses the Museum of Art, History and Archaeology.

The belfry, the 15th-century Clock Tower, overlooks the town centre. Saint-Taurin church keeps the 13th-century reliquary of Saint Taurin, the first bishop of Évreux. The landscaped banks of the Iton offer views of the main monuments, and the centre is easy to explore on foot.
