It's situated 80 kilometres to the southwest of the capital of France, Paris.
The peaceful sounds of nature await you at Le Ballastiere Lake. It's situated just 45 kilometres away, so you won't have to be stuck on the road all day. Caves of Foulon, 45 kilometres away, is one more popular choice.
Expand your horizons and find out what's happening in Luce, 3 kilometres to the south. Lots of travellers come here for Chartres Cathedral and the Fine Arts Museum of Chartres. Alternatively, Chartres is 4 kilometres to the southeast of Mainvilliers. Head to this destination for easy access to Church of Saint-Andre and the Centre International du Vitrail.
Whether it's for shopping or to see the sights, visitors often make their way to Le Coudray, 6 kilometres to the southeast. The La Maison Picassiette, L'Odyssee and Eglise St-Aignan are close by. Of course, make sure you don't pass up Église St-Pierre and Prow-Shaped House either.
Whether you prefer the sophistication of Michelin stars or nibbling on a simple street snack, tasting the local food and drink is one of the best things about travel. So why not treat your taste buds by tucking into some of the region's delectable offerings?
No true culinary adventurer would leave Mainvilliers without digging into a couple of the local specialties, such as andouillette au Vouvray (sausage in wine) and rillions (roast pork belly chunks).
A perfect glass of vino can complete any tasty meal, and the best local wine varieties cannot be missed. Chinon Cabernet Franc and Sancerre Sauvignon Blanc are the top picks here.
There's so much more to travelling than ticking off attractions and trying the local cuisine. It's also about the interactions with the people and their culture. Get the most out of your Eure-et-Loir holiday by memorising a few words in the local tongue. To get you started, have a go at saying 'Merci'. This translates as 'thank you'. There's also 'Je m'appelle ...' ('my name is..').
Expecting to be here around the 14th of July? You're in luck. Every year on this day, the entire nation bands together for Bastille Day.
With just a little of your holiday allowance left in your pocket and some wonderful memories that will last a lifetime, say one last "À plus tard" to Mainvilliers.
If you're travelling by air, it's probably a wise idea to decide a route to the terminal in advance. From the centre of Mainvilliers, you'll need to travel about 75 kilometres northeast to Orly Airport (ORY), the nearest airport.
Whether you're on the lookout for a simple room or one with all the fancy extras, Mainvilliers has your back. For a good night's sleep that won't burn a hole through your wallet, book in at the L'Hôtel des Poèmes de Chartres (5 Place Pierre Semard) or the Hotellerie Saint Yves (1 Rue Saint Eman). You may also want to look into the Best Western Premier Grand Monarque Hotel & Spa and the Mercure Chartres Centre Cathédrale. These high-end hotels are for those who'd like to live a life of leisure and luxury while they're here.
