• Le Georges★ Michelin Le Grand Monarque, which is home to Le Georges, has withstood the test of time – the hotel’s first mention in the Michelin Guide dates back to 1900! This elegantly appointed establishment is ideally located between Paris and the Loire at a crossroads between the regions of western France. Thomas Parnaud has steadfastly remained true to his mission of shining the spotlight on local producers who respect the environment as he deploys a top-to-tail ethos. Examples include Perche pike with Eure-et-Loir mushrooms and house-made fish garum, or Racan chicken, seasonal endive and kumquat. It would be 17.7km
• Ruche★ Michelin On the edge of Rambouillet Forest, chef Cybèle, who formerly ran the Table de Cybèle in Boulogne Billancourt, fell in love with this estate dating from 1850 and where she now grows practically everything she cooks according to permaculture methods… Fresh greens thus play a pivotal role, flanked by fermentation techniques and produce from local growers, in deceptively simple, signature cuisine rich in aromatic legible flavours. The bread, butter and yoghurt are all homemade and the wine list is packed in biodynamic and natural vintages. A Scandinavian slant depicts the venue, which also offers 24.9km
• Le Panoramique - Domaine de la Corniche★ Michelin This charming hotel perched on a chalk cliff was originally commissioned in 1908 by King Leopold II of Belgium so that he could entertain his lover, Blanche de Vaughan, but it is now a magnet for foodies. Sourcing local produce is central to the estate’s outlook: scallops from the Bay of the Seine, farm-reared lamb from nearby breeders and fresh fruit and vegetables from local growers. The result is recipes oozing in fresh, crisp, wholesome flavours. When the weather is fine, alfresco dining on the terrace gazing down over the meanders of the Seine is heavenly. On the other side of the street,47.3km
• Ducasse au Château de Versailles - Le Grand Contrôle★ Michelin This luxurious establishment in the Airelles hotel is steeped in history and inextricably linked to the Palace of Versailles. It combines theatrical staging – with diners being greeted by a valet, and staff in period costume – and cuisine tailored to the occasion. Devised by Alain Ducasse, the menu comprises dishes made with premium produce that reflect the great man's commitment to naturalité. Entrusted to chef Stéphane Duchiron, the food is a masterclass in technical skill, with everything expertly cooked and seasoned, and high-quality sauces and jus bringing out the forthright, distinctive 49.8km
• Le Moulin de Ponceau In the heart of the historic city, this eatery is well and truly located in an authentic 16C watermill built on the banks of the River Eure. The dining room oozes with nostalgic charm from bare beams and stone floors, while the floor-to-ceiling windows overlook the river. The chef favours a contemporary score: catfish in a courgette cannelloni; cromesquis of slow-cooked pork and popcorn crème; low temperature loin of pork, fried polenta, spinach and coffee sauce; crunchy rhubarb and vanilla crumble. Slick, seamless service and superlative patio (weather permitting).17.1km
• Bistrot Racines Eugène Viollet-le-Duc found Chartres's Gothic cathedral to be the most beautiful in France. The owner of Le Grand Monarque Hotel had the inspired idea of opening this friendly bistro and wine bar with a terrace overlooking the imposing edifice. Locals, pilgrims and tourists dig into good traditional fare that showcases local farmers and market gardeners: pâté en croûte; veal belly, coffee reduction and fluffy dauphine potatoes; floating island served with a ladle, a French childhood classic. Savvy choice of wines from small-scale winegrowers.17.4km
• Le Vallon de Chérisy The name is a passing nod to an ode composed by Victor Hugo in this very inn back in 1821. The hearty and unapologetically rustic food is inspired by the seasons and showcases local produce, particularly vegetables and aromatic herbs. Save room for the dessert, a warm soufflé, whose flavour varies according to the season.17.6km
• Terra A short walk from the city centre, in the suburbs of Chartres, the husband-and-wife team behind Terra (he is an Italian chef and she is a South African pastry chef) extend an invitation to join them on a culinary journey. The excellent and quintessentially Italian cuisine is served in a friendly atmosphere – the fiorentina-style cannelloni stuffed with veal and spinach and the house parmesan sauce is delicious!18.3km
• Villa Marinette This former inn has a modern interior, completely redesigned in black and yellow tones, with light parquet flooring and plant motifs; in the pretty enclosed garden the pleasant terrace remains. The contemporary food is devised to reflect the seasons by a young chef who respects the ingredients.19.4km
• Les Terrasses de Clairefontaine In the heart of the Chevreuse Valley and Rambouillet forest, this restaurant on the edge of Clairefontaine pond serves heart - warming, up - to - date food, with a weakness for truffles and game (in season). Fine view of the pond (all year long).29.0km
