Chartres Cathedral

Highlight • Religious Site

Chartres Cathedral was built between 1134 and 1260, thus becoming one of the first great Gothic cathedrals.

Over the centuries, the cathedral was adorned and decorated so well that it still constitutes an exceptional monument today.

Chartres Cathedral is a must-see, both for its stained glass windows, its overall architecture and its sculptures.

Salmon House

Highlight • Historical Site

The half-timbered house dates back to the 15th century and owes its name to the fish carved into its facade.
After the severe destruction in 1944, it was rebuilt and now houses the tourist office.

the Guillaume Gate

Highlight • Other

The first Guillaume gate was built at the end of the 12th century; it is then one of the gates of the enclosure surrounding the city of Chartres. It bears the name of Guillaume de Ferrières, Viscount of Chartres.
Under the erroneous name of "Porte Saint-Guillaume", the building appears on the first list of 1840 established at the request of Prosper Mérimée. It was classified as a historical monument in 1911.


The gate was destroyed by the retreating German army on the night of August 15 to 16, 1944. The protection was not called into question after its destruction.

An excavation campaign intended to understand the architecture of the door is organized by the archaeological service of the town hall of Chartres in several successive campaigns from 2010 to 2014.

Chartres

Highlight • Settlement

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.

Barjouville Pond

Highlight • Lake

5.1 ha body of water located in the Eure valley 15 minutes from Chartres town centre.

Reciprocal and populated by most pond fish.

A population of predators (pike, zander and perch) makes it possible to alternate techniques.
