France, the Cathedral of Chartres

Chartres Cathedral has been spared from wars and revolutions. Works started in the 12th century and today the building is one of France's best-preserved Gothic monuments. It took barely 30 years to build and is characteristic of the consistency of the architectural style. In 2008 a huge renovation started to restore the famous stained glass windows and the extraordinary organ. Discover how highly skilled craftsmen restore the symbol of French Gothic.
