If you’re looking for a nice escape from the crowds and chaos of Paris, consider heading to the small city of Chartres for a day or two. Its situated 60 miles (96 km) southwest of Paris.

It’s spring and the cherry blossoms are opening everywhere. To me few things say “goodbye winter” and “hello spring” more than cherry blossoms.
A scene of every day life in an historic city. After having spent the morning exploring the great medieval cathedral in Chartres, we finished a fine lunch before heading into the medieval city down by the River.
Today’s highlighted photo(s) come from one of the finest Gothic cathedrals in Europe, Chartres, recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage site. Chartres was built in the 12th century and is unique because it was constructed and furnished in only 66 years.
Chartres is a great day-trip destination for those visiting Paris. An hour’s train ride from the City of Lights, Chartres’ main highlight is its magnificent cathedral (itself a UNESCO World Heritage Site).
Chartres is a lovely medieval town an hour’s train ride from Paris (perfect day-trip destination), with a magnificent Cathedral.
