One of France’s great medieval cathedrals, the Cathedrale Notre-Dame de Chartres dominates the landscape around the town of Chartres, about 50 miles from Paris.

The cathedral was constructed at the end of the 12th century and among its architectural highlights are the 349 foot spire, its innovative flying buttresses and its stunning stained glass windows.
