Karting de Chartres

Two steps from Chartres cathedral, Karting de Chartres KDC sets up its indoor track in the business zone of the Eure-et-Loir capital. The site benefits from a handy location for Chartres residents on after-work outings and for travellers on a cultural stay around Notre-Dame cathedral, the Gothic gem listed as UNESCO World Heritage. The covered hall lets you drive whatever the season : useful in a Beauce region where winter winds and rain can disrupt outdoor outings.

The indoor layout favours rhythmic sequences and tight corners, on a regular surface that asks above all for clean lines. It's a format that especially suits mixed groups and families with kids. Several kart classes are available, with models suited to younger riders for shared family driving. With sessions starting at 7 euros, the entry price stays very accessible for first-time drivers or regular outings. The site is regularly used for kids' birthdays, stag and hen parties, and corporate events for the Chartres–Châteaudun basin.

Chartres is one hour from Paris via the A11 and 1 hr 30 from Le Mans. The area offers plenty to extend the trip: Notre-Dame de Chartres cathedral and its famous blue stained glass, the medieval old town, COMPA (Conservatory of Agriculture), or a detour to the Maine châteaux or the Loire valley 1 hr 30 away. A pick to add to a Chartres cultural weekend, especially for families combining a cathedral visit with a fun activity for the kids.
