Notre-Dame de Chartres Cathedral

Just for seeing and experiencing this cathedral you should take the 80km ride from Paris to Chartres. This enormous pilgrimage site from the 13th century is the definite landmark and the centerpiece of Chartres. From the facade it is mesmerizingly beautiful and tall, from the sides and the back it is massive and no less beautiful. But wait until you step inside. Your breath will be taken away again... Amazing stained glass windows everywhere on every single window. When you look carefully you can see a special blue colour stand out from the crowd. It's the Chartres blue.
