About this place
This hiking route offers a varied exploration of the Beauce plain, with sweeping views of Chartres cathedral, the quarry, and the stone extraction that was used to build the cathedral and the monuments found throughout the village.| Berchères-les-Pierres is a village near Chartres, known for the quarries that have been worked since the year 1000. The limestone extracted there made it possible to build Chartres cathedral — a stone that is very hard and durable. The route takes you through the woods of la Garenne, where the old quarry face and the still-active quarry are located. Many monuments were built with this stone from Berchères. The chemin des Carriers that you'll follow was used to transport stone from the quarry to the cathedral. This route combines the discovery of the quarry site and the buildings it produced, along with many views of Chartres cathedral. Circuit created with the support of the CDRP28 — follow the yellow waymarks. Dogs allowed on a lead.
