Easy and very beautiful hike following the river and pond; however, be careful at the roundabout on the way back to Lucé.

A dream of a cathedral 🥰 you should definitely visit it at two different times of the day, as the glass windows look completely different depending on the position of the sun - phenomenal

A few points make Chartres Cathedral so unique: - the total of 176 original windows, which were created between 1215 and 1240 and flood the church interior with lots of light - Particularly noteworthy are the 3 rosettes on the north, south and west sides, where you can study the further development of architecture over the decades - the cathedral was never significantly destroyed and thus gives a very good impression of the High Gothic period - with her relic she represented the center of Marian veneration in Europe. The resulting flow of pilgrims was a main source of income for Chartres
