Magic and mystery of the Cathédrale de Chartres

The Cathédrale Notre-Dame de Chartres is one of the largest and most beautiful Cathedrals in France. It is a great example of the French High Gothic style, which emphasizes verticality and light. The stained glass windows are simply magnificent and inspiring.

Climbing  300 steps of the north tower is a must. A panoramic view of the city of Chartres and countryside below the Cathedral is fantastic.

At night, a brilliant light and music show takes place outside the Cathedral that celebrates the history and brings together the past, the present and the future.

Прошлое позволяет яснее видеть будущее...
