Sabbeth Sites: Chartres



This week I am remembering my high school French trip and Notre Dame de Chartres. The Chartres Cathedral is unique in a few ways such as the two towers. The taller tower is built in a Gothic style while the other tower is Romanesque in design.


It hosts a relic, Mary's veil.


The stained glass windows of the cathedral are unique in their 
"Chartres blue" color. No one has been able to recreate the exact shade.
