West of Paris, a B&B for sale in Eure-et-Loir relies on a close and loyal clientele: Parisians on weekend breaks, visitors to Chartres cathedral, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, business travellers and Northern European families. The landscapes vary widely: the wooded hills and manor houses of the Perche, with its regional nature park and Percheron horses, the open plain of the Beauce, the Loir valley from Châteaudun to Illiers-Combray, Proust's village, and in the north the Drouais with the châteaux of Anet and Maintenon.
Properties range from Perche longères (long farmhouses) to large character homes with many rooms, sometimes with a holiday cottage. This page is for buyers of a running guest house, people comparing Eure-et-Loir with Loir-et-Cher or Loiret, and owners preparing to sell. Create an email alert (in French) to follow new properties.

Proximity to Paris shows in the figures: the median country house sold for €178,000 in 2025, well above the regional €150,000. A guest house with several bedrooms quickly passes the top-decile threshold of €275,000 and joins the prestige market, where the local median is €650,000 over 2021-2025 (an indicative value), with most sales between €400,000 and €1,108,800. Commuter villages fetch a median of €197,000, against €141,000 in the deeper countryside, where the same budget buys more space.
The Perche, around Nogent-le-Rotrou, draws the strongest tourist demand: hedgerows, forests, manor houses and old villages attract well-off Parisians, but fine properties are expensive. Chartres combines cultural tourism with business travel all year round. The Loir valley, from Bonneval to Châteaudun, offers a river, castles and lower prices, while the Drouais, around Dreux and Anet, is the closest area to Paris. The A11 links Paris, Chartres and Le Mans, the A10 runs along the east of the department, and trains from Paris-Montparnasse serve Chartres and Nogent-le-Rotrou.
Rendered Perche farmhouses, turreted manors and stone-and-flint Beauce farms need their roofs, timbers and walls checked. Shrink-swell clay affects many villages, underground cavities exist in places, and the Eure, Loir and Huisne valleys carry a flood risk shown in the sale's risk report. Rural homes often have a private septic system inspected by the SPANC service. A chambres d'hôtes business is limited to 5 rooms and 15 guests at a time, breakfast included, and must be declared at the mairie (town hall); serving alcohol at dinner requires at least a restaurant licence and a specific permit. Our article on B&B taxation (in French) covers the tax side.
Two land-registry benchmarks frame the budget: €178,000 for a country house and €650,000 for a prestige home. A guest house usually sits in between, depending on rooms, condition and grounds. Allow for fit-out, notaire fees (the public official who handles sales) and working capital; our article on the budget to open a B&B (in French) goes further.
Weekends and bank holidays provide a steady base, but weeknights are quieter. Business stays around Chartres, walking groups in the Perche and guest dinners help. Model your figures with our B&B profitability simulator (in French) and have an accountant check them.
A compromis de vente (preliminary contract) comes first, then the deed is signed before a notaire; furnishings, the booking website and future reservations usually transfer too. Sellers should gather accounts, the town hall declaration, surveys and the septic report, then list their property.
