The first cathedral to be classified as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1979, it is celebrating the millennium of its foundations as well as the reopening of the restored Saint Piat chapel, which houses the treasures of the Gothic edifice. It was built in 40 years, a record since Notre-Dame de Paris took a century.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We can't help but think of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.charlespeguy.fr\/\">Charles P\u00e9guy<\/a> (1873-1914), who discovered Chartres in 1900. He walked 140 km to offer his heart to the Virgin. The Chartres pilgrimage \"in the footsteps of P\u00e9guy\" was launched after the writer's death. Today, there are 440 pilgrimages to Chartres every year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Other writers have marvelled at the cathedral: Paul Claudel, Victor Hugo, Marcel Proust, who is said to have borrowed the layout of his literary work from the cathedral's architecture... And even <strong>l<\/strong>he agnostic Andr\u00e9 Malraux said, standing in front of the building's portal, above the blessing Christ where Saint Louis passed, that this is where <em>\"this purest part of France\".<\/em>. <\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/universvoyage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/\u00a9M.-Lasseur_porche_5750-Copier.jpg\" data-rel=\"lightbox-image-1\" data-rl_title=\"Chartres.

Tourists then enter the cathedral, and after a brief genuflection, wonder where to begin. Upstairs, the stained glass windows (2,600 m\u00b2 in surface area) sparkle with colour. The oldest, famous for their luminous blue, date from the 12th century. Nicknamed Chartres blue, it is obtained by colouring the glass paste with cobalt oxide. The crypt is one of the longest in Europe, after St Peter's in Rome and Canterbury. It is known as the \"vault of Saint-Lubin\", the first bishop of Chartres, and is located just below the high altar of today's cathedral.

The statue of Notre-Dame is a modern one, dating from 1975. It looks a lot like the statue from the Middle Ages that disappeared during the French Revolution, which had the typical features of Gallo-Roman mother goddesses. Perhaps we're going back to the very origins of the Marian cult in Chartres: people began praying to Mary even before she existed. Druids were said to have had a vision of this woman who would give birth to the Saviour in a faraway land... A strange legend that allowed Chartres to say that people had been Christians here even before Christianity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Le_voile_de_la_Vierge\"><\/span>The Virgin's veil<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/universvoyage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Reliquaire-du-millenaire-abritant-le-voile-de-la-Vierge-vitrine-concue-par-Hubert-le-Gall\u00a9-DRAC-Centre-Val-de-Loire-F.-Lauginie-Copier.jpg\" data-rel=\"lightbox-image-6\" data-rl_title=\"Chartres.

The Virgin's veil, a major relic in the cathedral, is now on display in a new case designed by Hubert le Gall. The challenge was twofold: to showcase the relic and the shrine that houses it, while ensuring their preservation. DRAC Centre-Val de Loire, F. Lauginie<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Let's jump back a few centuries to find the Virgin Mary in the 9th century. In Fulbert's crypt, in the chapel dedicated to Notre-Dame de Sous-Terre, we discover the precious Chartres relic: the Virgin's veil, formerly known as the \"veil of the Virgin Mary\".\u00a0<em>\"Sancta Camisa<\/em>\u00a0\"Mary's veil. This is thought to be the veil Mary wore when Christ was born. There are 2 fragments, the main one at the top, in the upper cathedral. This means that Mary can be prayed to on both levels of the cathedral. The relic was donated in 876 by Charles the Bald, Charlemagne's grandson. It came from Byzantium, as a gift from the Emperor of the East to Charlemagne. In the 18th century, the hunt was on. It turned out to be a large piece of cloth measuring 5.35 metres by 0.46 metres, like the ones used by Middle Eastern women. Analyses carried out in the early 19th century concluded that this fabric was woven in the Middle East at the beginning of our era.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/universvoyage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/le_puits_des_saint-forts.jpg\" data-rel=\"lightbox-image-7\" data-rl_title=\"Cath\u00e9drale Notre-Dame de Chartres.
