A must see destination for serious architects | Chartres; the other Notre Dame in France |
If you see only one more cathedral in France make it Chartres. An easy day trip from Paris, Chartres is host to the other Notre Dame. This gothic cathedral is actually a mix of different architectural styles dating back to the 13th century. You'll notice this fact immediately upon seeing the mismatched steeples. |
| The beauty is in the details at Chartres cathedral |
|  | Admire the exterior sculptures and designs Walk around the perimeter of the cathedral before going inside. Take your time and try to guess at the stories being told on the walls. |
| Like stained glass? Then you'll love Chartres |
| | Admire the interior's spectacle of stained glass The stained glass is certainly among the most impressive sights within the cathedral. It is hard to justify its magnificence with my humble camera's poor photo. You just have to see it for yourself! |
