About Chartres

Chartres is a cooperative and capital of the Eure-et-Loir division in France. It is situated around 90 km southwest of Paris. Chartres is acclaimed worldwide for its church building. For the most part built somewhere in the range of 1193 and 1250, this Gothic house of God is in an outstanding condition of conservation. Most of the first recolored glass windows endure flawless, while the engineering has seen just minor changes since the mid 13th century.

Chartres is based on a slope on the left bank of the Eure River. Its famous medieval church is at the highest point of the slope, and its two towers are noticeable from miles away over the level encompassing grounds. Toward the southeast stretches the ripe plain of Beauce, the "silo of France", of which the town is the business focus. Chartres is best known for its church building, the Cathedrale Notre-Dame de Chartres, which is viewed as one of the best and best protected Gothic houses of God in France and in Europe.

Its recorded and social significance has been perceived by its consideration on the UNESCO rundown of World Heritage Sites. The Eure River, which now separates into three branches, is crossed by a few scaffolds, some of them antiquated, and is bordered in spots by survives from the old strongholds, of which the Porte Guillaume, an entryway flanked by towers, was the most total example, until demolished by the withdrawing German armed force in the evening of 15 to 16 August 1944.
