Get in
By car
From central Paris, take the A10, followed by the A11 a driving distance of 91 km (57 miles). It's also possible
to take the A13 (towards Rouen) and then at the Traingle de Rocqencourt to head south on the A12 to Trappes
and the RN10. The RN10 is the "old" road from Paris to
Chartres (and beyond) and there is no toll. Most of it is
dual carriageway, although there are a few tricky 3 lane
sections. Usually doesn't take any longer than the motorway and both arrive side-by-side in Chartres.

By train
There are many daily direct trains from and to Paris Montparnasse. The journey to Chartres averages just over an
hour each way and costs 36.20 1st class, 24.20 2nd
class. Prices do vary depending on when you buy your
ticket- last-minute departures cost more. Try to take one
of the double-decked TER trains if possible, because they
are more comfortable, and you have better views of the
lovely countryside.

Get around
Free maps and information can be obtained from the
great tourist information center. They are very helpful
and friendly, and the center is on the road between the
train station and cathedral. It is near the cathedral, on the
north side of the gravel square in front of the cathedral.

Statuary on the south portal of Notre Dame de Chartres

Chartres Cathedral (la cathdrale Notre-Dame de

Chartres) - a UNESCO World Heritage site
La Maison Picassiette in Chartres
Walk around the city - there are fine half timbered
houses including possibly the best, the Maison de la
Truie qui File or du Saumon (Spinning Sow House
or Salmon House) named after the carvings on the
wooden uprights. Also try to walk down to the riverdescend down through the streets to the remains of
the old gate to the city. Then walk north about 0.5km
and turn left, taking the steps up which lead to the
back of the cathedral.
The Monument to Jean Moulin, one of the major leaders of the French Resistance during WWII. He was the
regional mayor before the occupation of France.

in a loop, so there's no hanging around. Go up to the
front of the cathedral, (the gravel square) rather than
attempt to view the illuminations from afar. Quite
spectacular.

Buy
Chartres has many shops selling religious items. Most are
located to the north of the cathedral, or along the streets
between the cathedral and the train station.

The memorial to Jean Moulin

A patisserie in Chartres

Do
the Chartres Arts and Crafts Fair (Les Artisanales de
Chartres) - held in 2005 from October 7th - 10th
Take one of Malcolm Miller's English language tours
of the cathedral, especially to learn more about the
amazing stained glass windows in the cathedral.
Find out when the choir and/or organist will be playing that day in the cathedral. The sound is ethereal in
nature.
Climb to the top of the north tower in the cathedral to
see an incredible view of the town and countryside.
On a really clear day, you can see the Eiffel Tower.
Walk the Labyrinth on the floor of Chartres Cathedral,
an 800 year old pilgrim path. Guided Tours depart
from Paris most Fridays with Michelle Campbell, MFA
LabyrinthExperience@yahoo.com
The river Eure passes through the town and there is a
hiking path that follows the banks in both directions.
Both north and south, there are large parks.

For basic needs, there is a medium-sized Monoprix store

located in the pedestrian area at the top of the hill. They
sell groceries and other items useful for budget travellers.
There is a food market in the Place Billard every Saturday
morning. Some professional traders, but plenty of local
producers.
Stray away from the touristy areas for delicious meals.
Next to the Htel de Ville de Chartres you can find some
wonderful brasseries.

Do go to the cathedral square at night (after 10.15PM)

and watch coloured lights play on the front of
the cathedral, creating fantastic abstract effects. The

heading to the west from the town square have many excellent patisseries and boulangeries.
017, 17 avenue Jehan de Beauce (leading from railway station up into town). The previous "Escale" was
taken over by a young couple and they provide good
food at good prices. The transition has been dramatic! There is a set priced menu with some dishes available "avec supplment" of 1 or 2. Decent, but not
exhaustive, selection of wine. Price of a starter, main
course, dessert + wine = 30

The town square in Chartres

Do go to the cathedral square at night (after 10.15PM)

and watch coloured lights play on the front of
the cathedral, creating fantastic abstract effects. The
whole (free) show lasts about ten minutes, and runs
in a loop, so there's no hanging around. Go up to the
front of the cathedral, (the gravel square) rather than
attempt to view the illuminations from afar. Quite
spectacular. Note that this magnificent light show is
only on late at night in the more temperate months.
There are other historic buildings in the town that are
also lighted.

Eat
Saveurs et Plaisirs, Near La Place des pars one can
find a delightful Crperie run by young local workers. Here they serve excellently priced Crepes, paninis, sandwiches, and "Kebab" sandwiches. Service is
always top notch, the place uses fresh ingrediants.
English is spoken (and very well). WIFI is also available
for free here.
Le Grand Monarque: Place des Epars. Often said to be
the best restaurant in town.
L'Estocade
Le Caf Serpente - caters to tourists and prices can
be hiked up there. They do, however, offer delicious
desserts and Hot Chocolates.
Chartres has many small, wonderful restaurants at reasonable prices, especially compared to Paris. Of course,
the establishments closest to the SNCF station are the
more expensive ones.
There is an awesome macaroon store at the south end
of the main town square, and the pedestrian-only streets

Brasserie Bruneau, 4 rue Marchal Delattre de Tassigny (close to the Hotel de Ville / Town Hall). 1930s
decor, with service on 2 floors and a terrace. Food is
in the "brasserie" style. Service is fast, with perhaps
a bit too much verve for a relaxing evening. However, the owner/waiter was born for the job (contrary to
many French waiters) and he takes great care of his
customers. A meal with starter, main course, dessert
and wine can cost around 40, but it's worth it.
Brasserie Henri IV, 31 rue du Soleil d'Or. Again
"brasserie" style food. Opened late 2005 and so decor
is totally new. Well placed in center of town. Prices are
friendly (rumour has it that the owner runs the place
for fun, not for gain!).
Le Sully, 20 rue du Soleil d'Or. A new (2007) fish restaurant. Situated opposite the Henri IV and during the
summer they share the same terrace. A "cohabitation"
facilitated by the fact that they have the same owner.
Crep'Salads, 7 rue Serpente (close to cathedral). "Pancakes" and salads. Plenty to eat and not expensive. To
be avoided on Friday or Saturday nights because service is catastrophic. Lunchtimes or Sunday is fine.
La Napolitaine, 27 rue de la Porte Morard (in the lower end of town, by the river Eure). As the name suggests, it's Italian, but the cuisine (pizza, pasta, escalope, ... ) may not be recognised on the other side of
the Alps. However, the pizza are huge as are the salads. Contrary to many restaurants in Chartres, it stays
open "late" (get in by half past ten). Moreover, it has
plenty of room.
Bistrot de la Cathdrale, 1 clotre Notre Dame (right
beside cathedral). Run by the same people who own
the "Grand Monarque" and another recent addition
to Chartres' list of places to eat. Good "brasserie" type

budget. The cuisine is "soigne", the service without

reproach and the wine is very favourably priced. However, the place has no real atmosphere. Avoid the "terrace" at all costs as you'll find yourself on the pavement on what is the busiest "place" in town.
Le Saint Hilaire, 11 rue du Pont St Hilaire. Many would
consider this as number one restaurant in town (although fans of the Grand Monarque might disagree).
Needs to be booked in advance!
Le Boeuf Couronn, 15 place du Chtelet. A hotel between the railway station and the cathedral. Always
has a good "carte".
La Cave aux Fromages, 24 rue de la Porte Morard. In
the lower end of town. More of a winter restaurant,
with its fondue and raclette. Not expensive.
Le Pichet, 19 rue du Cheval Blanc. Touristy, but it's always open. Honest cuisine and it's just over the road
from the Acadmie de la Bire (see below). This is a
lovely family owned restaurant with delicious food
and charming decor. Try the menu of the day for a
three course meal.66.56.11.115 11:15, 15 November
2009 (EST)
Le Tripot, Rue Colin d'Harleville. Spacious restaurant
with "ancient" decor and good solid tables and chairs.
Local cuisine. Honest prices, but not cheap. Like most
restaurants in Chartres, empty during the week and
full at weekends.

Drink
When in Chartres, you should try some of the local
brew, a beer called Eurelienne. There are 4 sorts - white
(blanche), "blonde", red (rousse) and brown (brune). It is
brewed just outside town, in Chandres, by a local farmer
and the "brewery" can be visited during the first weekend
of every month. Unfortunately, the beer is difficult to find,
although some shops do a "tourist" package. Strangely,
enough, it can be bought in a "Gamme Vert" garden center (behind the theatre)! The Madrigal bar of the Grand
Monarque hotel sells all four types.
Acadmie de la Bire, 8 rue du Cheval Blanc (close to
the cathedral). Very old bar, with wooden beams etc.
It has dozens of beers from all over the place (including Tahiti) and about 9 beers on tap (including good
quality Guinness). There is a "garden" during the summer months. Ownership changed hands in October

Chartres Drink
2007 and, although the style stayed the same, custom
has fallen off.
Bahia Caf, 2 place de la Porte St Michel. More of
a whiskey and vodka bar although several Belgian
beers have made their way in recently. It's very popular, especially with fans of rugby. The owner is very
vocal, very friendly and very generous with the "nibblies" (which is always a good sign).
Le P'tit Bar, 18bis, boulevard Chasles. (just opposite
the theatre). A new wine bar (April 2010) which also
offers beer and coffee. Open afternoons and evenings
up to about 9pm. For the moment, it is shut on Sunday and Monday, but this may change. It is possible to
order a small (or large) plate of cheese to accompany
the wine.
Welcome Pub, 37 rue des Changes (center of town,
next to Place Billard market). This is supposed to be a
pub, but it lacks interesting beer. Decor is OK.
Dicken's Blues, 13 place Chtelet (next to Le Boeuf
Couronn hotel and restaurant). Very similar in structure/dcor to the Welcome, but has a more varied
clientele. Often has a jazz concert on Sunday. Nothing
special to say on the drinks front. "Standard" beer and
cocktail fare. Has changed hands 3 or 4 times over the
last few years, but the latest owners (2007) seem to be
making something of it. (I'm sure that they are not au
fait with the laws on the use of the apostrophe so we
won't go into the misspelling of the name).
Le Jungle Caf, 42 rue Saint Pierre. Spacious, with a
real garden out back. Busy at the weekend (when students return home) but can be quite empty during
the week. More of a cocktail bar than a beer bar.

Sleep

Chartres does suffer from a lack of hotels so it is definitely
worth booking in advance. Below are a few hotels in the
center. There are a few on the ring road to the west and
south of town. The good news is that a hotel Mercure has
been built in the centre of town, about 50 metres from
the Grand Monarque.

History

In the Franco-Prussian War it was seized by the Germans

on 2 October 1870, and continued during the rest of the
Campaign to be an important centre of operations.
The city suffered heavy damage by bombing in the
course of World War II, but the Cathedral of Chartres was
spared by an American Army officer who challenged the
order to destroy it.
Colonel Welborn Barton Griffith, Jr. questioned the strategy of destroying the cathedral and volunteered to go
behind enemy lines to find out whether the German
Army was occupying the cathedral and using it as an
observation post. With a single enlisted soldier to assist,
Col. Griffith proceeded to the cathedral and confirmed
the Germans were not using it. After he returned from
his reconnaissance, he reported that the cathedral was
clear of enemy troops. The order to destroy the cathedral was withdrawn and the Allies later liberated the area.
Col. Griffith was killed in action on August 16, 1944 in the
town of Leves, near Chartres.
Following deep reconnaissance missions in the region
by the 3rd Cavalry Group and units of the 1139 Engineer
Combat Group, and after heavy fighting in and around
the city, Chartres was liberated, on 18 August 1944, by
the U.S. 5th Infantry and the 7th Armored Divisions belonging to the XX Corps of the 3rd US Army commanded
by General George S. Patton.

Heraldry

Chartres was one of the principal towns of the Carnutes,

and by the Romans was called Autricum, from the river
Autura (Eure), and afterwards civitas Carnutum. The name
"Chartres" derives from "Carnutes". It was burnt by the
Normans in 858, and unsuccessfully besieged by them in
911.
During the Middle Ages it was the chief town of Beauce,
and gave its name to a countship which was held by the
counts of Blois and Champagne and afterwards by the
house of Chtillon, a member of which in 1286 sold it to
the crown. It was raised to the rank of a duchy in 1528 by

Geography
Chartres is built on the left bank of the Eure River, on a
hill crowned by its famous cathedral, the spires of which
are a landmark in the surrounding country. To the southeast stretches the fruitful plain of Beauce, the "granary of
France", of which the town is the commercial centre.

The town is best known for the Cathedral of Chartres

(French: Cathdrale Notre-Dame de Chartres), widely considered to be the finest Gothic cathedral in France. Its historical and cultural importance is recognized by its inclu-

City info

sion on the UNESCO list of World Heritage Sites. Its construction started in 1205, following the destruction of the
old cathedral of Chartres. Construction took 66 years.
The abbey church of St.Pierre, dating chiefly from the
13th century, contains, besides some fine stained glass,
twelve representations of the apostles in enamel, created about 1547 by Lonard Limosin. Of the other churches of Chartres also noteworthy are St Aignan (13th, 16th
and 17th centuries) and St Martin-au-Val (12th century).
The surrounding city financed the stained glass windows.

Museums
Muse des Beaux-Arts, fine arts museum (located near
the Cathedral of Chartres) housed in the former episcopal palace.
Le Grenier de l'Histoire Muse, history museum specializing in military uniforms and accoutrements.
Le Centre International du Vitrail, a workshop-museum
and cultural center devoted to stained glass art.
Musum de sciences naturelles et de la prhistoire, Natural Science and Prehistory Museum
Conservatoire du Machinisme et des Pratiques Agricoles,
an agricultural museum

Other sights
The Eure River, which at this point divides into three
branches, is crossed by several bridges, some of them ancient, and is fringed in places by remains of the old fortifications, of which the Porte Guillaume (14th century), a
gateway flanked by towers, is the most complete specimen. The steep, narrow streets of the old town contrast
with the wide, shady boulevards which encircle it and divide it from the suburbs. The Cbs St Jean, a pleasant park,
lies to the north-west, and squares and open spaces are
numerous.

Economy
Chartres is one of the most important market towns in
the region of Beauce (known as "the granary of France").
The game pies and other delicacies of Chartres are well
known, and the industries also include flour-milling,
brewing, distilling, iron-founding, leather manufacture,
perfumes, dyeing, and the manufacture of electronic

equipments, car accessories, stained glass, billiard requisites and hosiery.

Transport
The Gare de Chartres railway station offers frequent services to Paris, and a few daily connections to Le Mans, Nogent-le-Rotrou and Courtalain. The A11 motorway connects Chartres with Paris and Le Mans.

Sport
Chartres is home to two semi-professional association
football clubs; FC Chartres, who play in the French sixth
division, and HB Chartres, who play in the seventh tier.

Diocese
Main article: Diocese of Chartres
The town is the seat of a bishop, a prefecture, and a
court of assizes. It has tribunals of first instance and of
commerce, a chamber of commerce, training colleges, a
high school for boys, a communal college for girls, and a
branch of the Bank of France.

Pilgrimages
Chartres has been a site of Christian pilgrimage since the
Middle Ages. The poet Charles Pguy (18731914) revived the pilgrimage route between Paris and Chartres
before the First World War. After the war, some students carried on the pilgrimage in his memory. Since
the 1980s, the association Notre-Dame de Chrtient <http://www.nd-chretiente.com>, with offices in Versailles, has organized the annual 100km (62mi) pilgrimage on foot from the cathedral of Notre-Dame de Paris to
the cathedral of Notre-Dame de Chartres. About 15,000
pilgrims, mostly young families from all over France, participate every year.
