Chartres Highlights

Chartres is defined by its UNESCO-listed Gothic cathedral, famous for its 12th and 13th-century stained glass and labyrinth. Beyond the cathedral, the city features the former episcopal palace, now a fine arts museum, and the medieval lower town along the Eure river. This area preserves timber-framed structures like the Maison du Saumon and historic fortifications such as the Porte Guillaume ruins. Notable religious sites include the former abbey church of Saint-Pierre and the Saint-Martin-au-Val church, which houses an early medieval crypt.
