Capital of Light and Perfume:
Located close to Paris and the Loire Valley, Chartres enjoys international renown, thanks to its cathedral- a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The sparkle of its unique ensemble of stained-glass windows preserved from the 13th century, the exceptional diversity of its historical interest, the Festivals of Light and Perfume and its multitude of beauty spectacles, all located in the very heart of the Cosmetic Valley, have made Chartres the Capital of Light and Perfume. Its historical, picturesque and preserved districts, its mounds tumbling towards the banks of the Eure, it’s the ancient churches and the rich collections of its museums that urge us to wander and relax. Finally, the presence of many shops and artisans of art, combined with the richness of the festivities that bloom all the year, make Chartres a city full of liveliness and joy.
