How to Reach Saint-Éman in Eure-et-Loir

Saint-Éman is peacefully nestled in the rolling countryside between the Beauce plateau and the Perche hills, just 25 kilometers southwest of the historic cathedral city of Chartres and 4 kilometers northwest of Illiers-Combray (celebrated in Marcel Proust's literary works).

By Rail from Paris & Chartres

Regular TER rail services connect Paris-Montparnasse to Chartres (approx. 1 hour). From Chartres, connecting regional trains run to Illiers-Combray station on the Chartres–Bordeaux railway line. Local taxi or bicycle connections easily cover the remaining 4 km to Saint-Éman.

By Road via Motorway A11

Take the A11 motorway (L’Océane) to Exit 3.1 toward Illiers-Combray. Follow departmental road D921 northward for 4 kilometers following municipal directional signage for Saint-Éman. Free public parking is available on the church square (Place de l'Église).

Secretariat Response Expectations & Volunteer Schedules

Because our association is operated exclusively by dedicated civic volunteers, our electronic mailbox and postal correspondence are reviewed bi-weekly on Tuesday and Friday mornings. We endeavor to answer standard inquiries within 48 to 72 hours. Urgent inquiries regarding scheduled Saturday worksites are processed promptly on preceding Friday afternoons.

Visitors traveling to Saint-Éman to explore the River Loir walking trail are kindly requested to respect the peaceful character of our rural village. Please park only in designated municipal bays on Place de l'Église, keep dogs leashed along riverbanks to protect nesting waterfowl, and avoid trespassing on private farm lanes bordering historic monuments.
