Chartres Essentials

Chartres is defined by its UNESCO-listed Gothic cathedral, famous for its blue stained glass and architectural symmetry. Beyond the cathedral, the city preserves a medieval lower town along the Eure River, featuring timber-framed houses like the Maison du Saumon and the Romanesque Église Saint-André. Cultural landmarks include the Musée des Beaux-Arts, housed in the former Episcopal Palace, and the International Stained Glass Centre. This selection highlights the city's religious heritage, Renaissance-era churches, and 17th-century civic architecture.
