Chartres

Chartres sits on the Eure River in France’s Centre-Val de Loire region, where the medieval centre rises above the river valley. The city is defined by Chartres Cathedral, a major monument of French Gothic architecture and a UNESCO World Heritage site. Rebuilt largely after a fire in 1194, its two unequal spires and extensive medieval stained glass—including the celebrated Chartres Blue—give it an unmistakable silhouette. In the lower town, the Eure passes old bridges and waterside houses, while the Centre International du Vitrail continues the local stained-glass tradition.
