Labyrinth at Chartres Cathedral

Chartres
Fri 25 Jul


You can walk the medieval labyrinth inside the cathedral on Fridays in July. It takes about 20 minutes, maybe half an hour if you do the traditional 3 steps forwards, one step back (which I didn't); you can then stand for a while in the centre and contemplate the wonder of life, the cathedral, and everything.

See Erwin Reißmann's site about labyrinths, including this one at Chartres.

Chartres en lumières


Chartres Cathedral
Thu 24 Jul


Figures on one of the portals of the cathedral picked out in colour. The whole town is one great light-show - houses, churches, bridges.
