Chartres’ Notre-dame Cathedral is the biggest attraction for all visitors. This impressive gothic structure with its towering steeple is one of the highest cathedrals in the world. The well-preserved stained glass and unique copper roof are its other attractions.
Old Town with its cobble-stoned streets makes for a good trip down memory lane. Rue Chantalt, in this vicinity, stands out with the colourful houses that line it; the oldest house here dates back to the eighth century.
The House of Picassiette is a strange structure of mosaic art. It has been completely decorated with mosaics made out of broken pieces of earthenware and pottery. Floor, walls, ceiling and even the furniture is covered with mosaic.
Summer Evenings in Chartres involves music performances and concerts held in the majestic cathedral all through summer.
