Eure-et-Loir, Administrative department in Centre-Val de Loire, France
The Eure-et-Loir territory extends between Paris and the Loire Valley, encompassing extensive agricultural plains and forested regions across 5,880 square kilometers.
The department originated in 1790 during the French Revolution, incorporating lands from the former provinces of Orléanais, Maine, and Île-de-France under a new administrative structure.
The Chartres Cathedral stands as the department's main architectural landmark, with its 13th-century construction displaying 2,600 square meters of medieval stained glass windows.
The department connects to Paris through regular train services from its main stations in Chartres and Dreux, with journey times under ninety minutes.
The Cosmetic Valley cluster near Chartres represents the largest concentration of perfume and beauty product manufacturers in France, producing half of the nation's pharmaceutical goods.
