Our Lady of Chartres Cathedral

Chartres

Step inside one of Europe's most complete Gothic cathedrals, where 176 medieval stained-glass windows glow with the famous "Chartres blue." The soaring nave, labyrinth set into the floor, and two mismatched spires make this UNESCO site feel like a time capsule of 13th-century genius.
