Tuesday for towns of Centre-Val de Loire - Chartres.

View of Chartres town with narrow streets houses and Chartres Cathedral with twin spires in the background
A view across Chartres in Eure-et-Loir, where quiet streets lead the eye toward the soaring cathedral beyond. The twin spires rise above the town, a constant presence that has shaped the skyline for centuries.

“Every town and village in Centre-Val de Loire tells its story gently — in rooftops, stonework and narrow streets.”


Part of the “Towns & Villages of the Loire” Series

Each Tuesday, we visit one of the Loire Valley's towns or villages of the Loire Valley — their streets, stories, and quiet beauty.

Wednesday is for windows...Chartres Cathedral

 

After featuring Chartres and its Cathedral yesterday thought we should have a look at some of its many (150+) stained glass windows  dating from about 1210 to1260.
