Located just an hour from Paris, Chartres is a charming French town famous for its stunning Gothic cathedral and picturesque old streets. With its quaint atmosphere, friendly locals, and vibrant markets, it’s the perfect spot for a day trip or a relaxing getaway where you can soak up authentic French culture away from the crowds.

A Place Full of History

Chartres has been a place of importance since Roman times, but it truly blossomed in the Middle Ages, becoming a key pilgrimage site thanks to its magnificent cathedral. Today, its well-preserved medieval center and ancient bridges offer a glimpse into centuries of history and tradition.
