I know the café with the coffee pots, love their window display!!! <br /><br />The cathedral is in full restoration mode and is worth the visit even now with some scaffolding inside -though not as much as the past years.<br /><br />In chartres there are other churches worth the visit and that are inspirational as well. And just walking in the old town by the canal to see ancient doorways and imagine life here in the middle ages...<br /><br />Next time you come to Chartres please let me know.<br /><br />nathaliePotironhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00531725688586778001noreply@blogger.com
