A toy, a book, a bottle of wine… Who hasn't given these gifts at Christmas time?
Here is a selection of gifts which are not objects, but which are lived as real experiences which – and it's even better – take place in our department.
1. Why not… a show
There is plenty of choice, in the coming months, to offer a great cultural moment in the department. The earliest date is December 28 at 7 p.m., at the Colisée de Chartres, with the musical The Mysterious Cities of Gold.
It is certainly for those nostalgic for Esteban, Zia and Tao, but also for their children. In the same room, at the start of next year, the appearances of Manu Payet (January 10) or Zaho de Sagazan (January 30) are scheduled. Information on https://www.colisee-chartres.fr.
And to see a little further, why not try the Marcel Festoch' in Illiers-Combray which will take place from May 29 to June 1, 2025? Is it too long? Maybe, but a current Christmas offer allows you to pay less for your tickets. Information about www.facebook.com/MarcelFestoch/.
2. Or a museum?
It's the Christmas break, but the culture doesn't stop. It's surely time to (re)discover Aunt Léonie's house, in Illiers-Combray. This museum, dedicated to the childhood of Marcel Proust, reopened its doors last May after a long campaign of works. The result is extremely positive, since no less than 11,000 visitors came in six months, an absolute record.
This winter, the site is open from Tuesday to Sunday, but will be closed on December 25 and January 1. Information at 02.37.24.30.97.
3. …Or even a workshop in a brewery?
The microbrewery “Entre Beauce et Perche” offers a beer brewing discovery workshop in its premises in Courville-sur-Eure. During a morning (allow a good four hours), the enthusiast will be able to learn about this unique profession. And it will be concrete, since at the end of the workshop, it will be possible to leave with 15 liters of your own beer packaged in a 33 cl bottle.
Prix : 180 €. https://beauce-perche.com.
4. More original, a hot air balloon flight!
Here is an original gift, not to keep for yourself, but to share, as a couple or in a group. The Air Pegasus company, established in Maintenon for more than thirty years, offers hot air balloon flights, for a first flight or a longer stay.
Depending on the formulas, it is possible to fly over the outskirts of Chartres, or to head towards the Perche. It’s even possible to go crazy and eat on board. But obviously, it's more expensive…
