Tips

Guillaume Favez

October 5, 2021

Cycling

From Henri IV to Jean Moulin, Chartres is a city full of history. Alternately a religious, political and then military capital, Chartres has survived the centuries. And if the city has lost its importance at the national level in recent decades, it has managed to preserve the traces of its past to the delight of visitors. Notre-Dame Cathedral in Chartres is a perfect example.

A medieval building has shaped the city's skyline for centuries: the cathedral's two towers reaching towards the sky can be seen from a long way away. This early example of Gothic architecture not only shaped Chartres itself, but was also a model for many other church buildings for a long time, not only in France, but also spread beyond its borders to other countries.
