the Guillaume Gate
Highlight • Other
Under the erroneous name of "Porte Saint-Guillaume", the building appears on the first list of 1840 established at the request of Prosper Mérimée. It was classified as a historical monument in 1911.
The gate was destroyed by the retreating German army on the night of August 15 to 16, 1944. The protection was not called into question after its destruction.
An excavation campaign intended to understand the architecture of the door is organized by the archaeological service of the town hall of Chartres in several successive campaigns from 2010 to 2014.

Museum of Fine Arts
Highlight • Other
Of the old palace which hosted King Henry IV during his coronation on February 27, 1594, only the remains of the 15th century outbuildings (archs now enveloped in greenery) remain. Most of the building was built in the 17th and 18th centuries by three bishops.

Chartres Cathedral
Highlight • Religious Site
Over the centuries, the cathedral was adorned and decorated so well that it still constitutes an exceptional monument today.
Chartres Cathedral is a must-see, both for its stained glass windows, its overall architecture and its sculptures.
