This tiny French restaurant in the cathedral town of Chartres has more Gallic charm than you could shake a buttered baguette at. Located in the Eure-et-Loir region of central France, La Vieille Maison is set in a bijou 14th century house opposite the Chartres Cathedral with traditional open fires and a cosy ambience. The kitchen is renowned for their progressive gastronomic cuisine, and the restaurant is open for business lunches and romantic evening meals. The market-fresh menu at La Vieille Maison includes favourites such as the dish of snails and frog's legs served in a creamy garlic and parsley sauce with grilled hazelnuts, and the lasagna of lobster and scallops with a crayfish and Madagascan vanilla Béchemal sauce.
