Head north from Chartres into the Eure-et-Loir countryside for a day split between two lesser-known gems of French heritage. In Dreux, five centuries of stained glass fill the Church of Saint Peter's 79-metre nave, a late-Gothic belfry houses a 3.5-ton bronze bell silent since 1918, and cobbled lanes wind past half-timbered facades to the Royal Chapel of Saint Louis — burial site of the House of Orléans, with windows designed by Ingres and Delacroix crafted using a colour formula now lost forever. The afternoon continues to the village of Anet, where a one-hour guided tour of Château d'Anet reveals Diane de Poitiers' private chambers, Flemish tapestries, and a spiral-coffered dome sheltering her marble tomb. Both the Royal Chapel and the château are open April through October only (château closed Tuesdays), so plan accordingly and book the Dreux belfry visit through the tourist office in advance.
