Chartre on my Birthday
Once again I was away by 07:30 in a heavy fog that caused me to be grateful for the excellent lights on my bicycle. I shunned the scenic route - nothing to see! - and took a direct route that left the GPS totally confused as it tracked my progress ...

My Experience in Chartres Cathedral
On the 24th of October we went to Chartres. We walked in and everybody was dumbstruck. It was so beautiful! We ran to the tour spot so we could join it. We just made it in time. We got our headphones and headed off. The one thing our tour-guide, Malcolm ...

Versailles and Chartres
... so much like we were strolling back into the middle ages… beautiful! January 5, 2012 We spent the morning strolling around Chartres some more, seeing it in the daylight. It was a very windy and squally morning, but we still enjoyed seeing the town. ...
Very fancy church
It's just a 10-minute walk from the train station to the cathedral. The sun and clouds did not help my awesome picture taking, but still plenty good enough to get the idea. Mostly from around 1200CE, what makes it so special is the extremely ...

Chartres
For some reason, I was under the impression that Chartres wasn't as close to Paris as it actually is. In the past, of course, it would have been, but nowadays it's an hour's train ride away and a great day-trip. We went to see the Gothic goodness ...

Built in thirty years.
I have to admit that we have a thing for ancient mediaeval walled cities dominated by a magnificent cathedral! Chartres is stunning and the old part is easy to walk around - kind of a cross between Toledo, Venice and Verona (which is a bit of name ...
