The Cathedral at Chartres

Easily rivaling the more famous Notre Dame in Paris, both in size and magnificence, this amazing structure – about an hour south of Paris – is a must-see from Paris.  Being inside is spell-binding as well.  Taken in May 2015.  For astounding views of the architecture on rear side, as well as carvings of the Disciples on the side door,  see Chartres2.  For a glimpse of the delightful part of the village near the cathedral, see Chartres3.
