CHARTRES: The Cathedral and the Old Town

With visitors' map and cathedral plan, this excellent Pitkin guide celebrates the superb achievement of the medieval builders of this gothic cathedral, the Labyrinth inlaid in the paving of the nave, the best one preserved from all medieval France. Pilgrims walked it or went around on their knees as a spiritual exercise. The guide covers the Old Town, Chartres Museum and the Enclos de Loêns, the Church of St. Andrew, the River Eure, the Rue des Ecuyers, the Church of St. Pierre, the markets and the Maison du Soumon. With walking map on back cover, glossy colour photos, 32 page large softback.
