Chartres Travel Forum

Do you still sell miniature stained glass window charms? My parents bought one for me at the Chartres Cathedral gift shop in 1967 and I have lost it and would like to purchase another. Is there a way for me to do this?

Hi

We are arriving on a Saturday in July with 3 kids at the train station. We need to pick up our rental at the Europcar depot (address says 9 rue du marchal leclerc, chartres luisant downtown). Can we walk it? How far is it?

Any help would be appreciated!

Merci!
Michelle

Hello,

I'm thinking of taking a day trip by train from Paris to Chartres this summer. Would it be worth more than a day-trip in your mind? Are there other things worth seeing apart from the cathedral so that one should spend the night there? Places just around Chartres worth seeing? Would the countryside be nice enough to earn a photo-shoot?

Best regards
Roger

Some time ago I read in a Member's Home Page something about the crypt/labyrinth/undercroft only being open on one day a week and they only found out there was a crypt etc. by accident. Of course, now I want to refresh my memory, I can't find the Home Page. I would be very grateful if anyone can either point me to the correct Home Page or supply the information I seek based on the very sketchy details supplied.

Hi, anyone know if there is safe & good parking you can use in Chartres ? Also usually available !

I am driving there and then taking the train into Paris, so need to park my car up for 3 days

Can anyone advise a cheap and pleasant and clean place to stay for a few days in Chartres, for an adult and two children?

Does anyone know how we can take a train from Charles DeGaulle airport to Chartres? Our hotel is near CDG and we want to take a day trip to Chartres.

Also, we need to know if there is a tour bus system in Paris similar to the Big Red Bus in London where we can get off and on at various sights.

Thanks.

Please tell us if there are tour buses in Paris (similar to the ones in London) where you can get on and off at the various tourist sites. If so, how do we arrange for that?
