On the hoof, they go every Thursday through beauceronne and emigration lands. When the theatre of their pédestres is a little away from Chartres, visit the Mathurin Régnier College parking garage, rue Jules-Hetzel, at 13 h 45. Two courses are generally planned: One of eight kilometres, and the other, reserved for the experienced walkers, 12 to 15 kilometres away. From time to time, Nordic marches are also planned for Wednesday afternoons, and other excursions can interfere in the calendar, rather on weekends.

This large building in length dates back to the th century. Finally, the promenade takes the walkers to Mersantes, a former local head-site.

The least we can say is that the church Saint-Etienne de Meslay-le-Vidame is worth a detour. With its Doric inspiring columns worthy of Greek temples, the religious edifice attracts the eye when you go ahead. And this falls well because the church is one of the remarkable buildings of Meslay-le-Vidame and one of the stages of the discovery circuit of 8 kilometres that crosses the town and joins the little chapel of Andeville, to the east of Chartres road.
