Chartres' arrivons Nous vous de l'autre vers Notre-Dame,
De celle qui s'élève the heart of the city,
In his royal robe and his majesty,
In its magnificence and its accuracy emotional.
As you order an ocean of corn ,
There you order a sea of heads,
There you order a sea of heads,
And the harvest of grief and harvest festivals
So we sail to your cathedral.
At long swims a string of stones,
Round as towers, and only wealthy
Two thousand years of toil have made this land
An endless reservoir for the new ages.
thousand years of your grace we made this work
A repository for the endless lonely soul. "
Things have changed since Charles Peguy wrote his Presentation of the Beauce in Notre-Dame de Chartres . There were not many people at the Mass of the Ascension and the Beauce, as we have seen currently produces more rape than wheat. But the cathedral has lost nothing of its majestic beauty or the old districts of the city of their charm. "Here the old town and Eure flowing peacefully, without any noise. Water reflects its old houses, churches, bridges, doors with crenellated towers. The roofs cascading down, and up there, dominating all, Notre Dame . This description of Maurice White who is at least 70 years could have been written today.
So we started our penultimate ride to the Gare Montparnasse. The train that was to take us to Chartres was more than crowded, Parisians were the Bridge the weekend of the Ascension. At Versailles, we were able to sit down, the car had almost emptied.
Once in the Chartres train station, we took the Avenue Jean de Beauce and then the streets of Hartevilles and Cheval Blanc which took us directly to the cathedral, one, if not the most beautiful,
France.
Halfway, we found the remains of the front door William the twelfth century, a fine specimen of medieval military architecture.
The place where the cathedral was already sacred before the Roman conquest. The Druids would gather around a well that was found in the crypt. At the same place, then rose a temple where Gallo-Roman is a venerated statue of the goddess-mother. Then came the Christians. Let us just
JKHuysmans who tells us in Cathedral (Éditions Clairefontaine ):
" Chartres Cathedral is the fifth built on the grotto of the Druids, and his story is strange.
The first, built in the time of the Apostles by Bishop Aventine, was razed to ground level. Rebuilt by Another prelate named Castor, it was burned, in part, by Hunald, Duke of Aquitaine, restored by Godessald, burned again by Hastings, chief of the Normans, repaired again and finally completely by Gislebert destroyed by Richard, Duke of Normandy, during the siege of the town he sacked.
(...) A third
sanctuary (...) was consumed in 1020, under the episcopacy of St. Fulbert, who founded a fourth cathedral, it was burned in 1194, by lightning, which left standing the two towers and the crypt. The fifth
finally erected under the reign of Philip Augustus (...) is that we see today, which was dedicated October 17, 1260 in the presence of St. Louis .

She then stood before us, after so many mishaps, despite its magnificent walls dirty and polluted that it is only beginning to swallow. Inside was celebrated Mass, I decided to deal first of all from the outside. The two high
arrows and the royal portal is one of the finest collections of French religious art. The steeple nine, left, is the oldest part because it dates to the lower part of 1134. He began the current name when, after a fire in 1506, Jean de Beauce built the arrow flamboyant than 115 m in height. The old tower, right, is a masterpiece of Romanesque art.

The portal, called Portal Royal , presents the life and triumph of Christ, surrounded by symbols of the Evangelists. Should be observed carefully, even painstakingly, these sculptures, statues faces perennial columns, signs of the zodiac, the scenes of Jesus' life and work of months tell us about the daily life of 800 years ago.
The statues of the three bays of the north portal , the thirteenth century, illustrate Business and the incarnation of the Messiah. The characters dealt with much more freedom than those of the royal portal, are
perennials and show concern for realism. The counting
characterizes the southern portal , whose decorative theme is the Last Judgement. The left door is devoted to the Confessors, the right to the Martyrs. In the middle, with the Savior at his feet, Donor. At the bottom of the tower
old two sculptures have attracted our eyes, the angel of the dial and the old donkey . The angel of the dial column was a statue of the ancient church of St. Fulbert. The donkey playing the old and part of this symbolic bestiary that adorns the medieval cathedrals and whose meaning eludes us most often.
Mass was over, the few parishioners greeted the Royal priest at the gate, so we entered the cathedral pillars between which measures 16m in width and exceeds the nave of all other
cathedrals of France. The height of the arch is 37m and length of the building reaches 130m.
Since the early days, we were surprised by the light that floods the cathedral, a light scattered by magnificent stained glass windows. These windows, the twelfth and thirteenth centuries, are among the finest in France. The clear blue that characterizes them is the blue of Chartres that permeates the atmosphere
.
must be enraptured by the magic of colors, just as we must afford to the Sainte-Chapelle or before the Lady and the Unicorn. The windows we reserve full of surprises, like the artwork to discover crafts of the Middle Ages, furriers, drapers, wheelwrights, coopers, and bakers are busy as 700 years ago.
the middle of the nave, we saw, half hidden by chairs, labyrinth drawn on the ground
black and white. The faithful kneeling roamed the maze of 294m.
We have looked, in ecstasy it must be said, the admirable closing chorus, the work of Jean de Beauce, which includes forty sculptures and a group that trace the lives of Christ and the Virgin.
Just opposite the Virgin of the Pillar, a wooden statue of the sixteenth century pears.
The charm has not faded out of the cathedral, we walked the old Chartres, skirting the edges of the Eure in small steps, trying to prolong the pleasure. And telling us: "To say that there are lucky living here! "
We're down to the square of the Fish, near the cathedral. The Salmon House whose facade has, carved wood, besides the salmon an Annunciation and St. Michael slaying the dragon, was unfortunately impossible to see because of restoration.
The house of the sow queue waiting for us, very close, with the top, this scene from a fable of Phaedrus.
A little further, at the corner of Squires and Rue du Bourg, the house
Consuls and its turret stair, appelé de la reine Berthe. Dans la même rue des Écuyers, de très belles maisons à colombage.
De l’autre côté de la cathédrale, au numéro 29 de la rue Chantault, nous attendait la plus ancienne maison de Chartres, datée du XIIe siècle.
Des rampes et des escaliers appelés tertres, de vieux ponts qui enjambent l’Eure, nous ont conduits vers la ville basse qui a conservé le charme vivant et pittoresque de son passé d’ancienne cité médiévale.
J’avais, dans mon cœur, toute au long de cette promenade, le souvenir de mon frère Robert et de Michelle, sa femme, que j’allais voir bientôt, et grâce à qui nous have discovered this wonderful city of Chartres five years ago.
was the last day in Paris the group and there was still a walk to the Palais Royal and the galleries and walkways.
Good coffee in my hotel room was going to retype it.

From that rising en el corazón de la ciudad,
En su vestido and its real majesty
In its magnificence and its correctness of soul.
As you comandáis a sea of spikes,
There comandáis a sea of heads,
And the harvest of grief and harvest festivals
You lie every night in front of your place. So
sail to your cathedral.
