Chartres

Visiting the Chartres Cathedral (UNESCO World Heritage Site) with my family! It is one of the oldest surviving cathedrals in France that hasn't been destroyed by war and houses part of the tunic worn by the Virgin Mary when she gave birth to Jesus.

Our tour guide (who did an excellent job), but wasn't too happy to see a baby in his group. Thankfully, I took a little nap during his lecture and caused zero problems.

The cathedral is undergoing a "cleaning" of sorts, look at the difference here!

We went to the town to see "Chartres en Lumieres" which is a festival of lights that are actually displayed as artwork over 26 public buildings around the city. VERY COOL! We rode "le petit train" to see all of the different displays.





Interesting shower in our hotel. I liked playing in here, but did not like the bathing part. A little scary with all of the jets!
