Day 18 - Chartres

One last full day in France and what better way to spend it than visiting another cathedral.

But not just any old cathedral, we'd already seen them after all. This was the big one, the Cathedral at Chartres.

Mindbogglingly ornate on the outside, it is even more spectacular on the inside, as its stained glass windows had even survived the French Revolution. It was built on a Roman site and has multiple layers from the Middle Ages, to the Gothic and Neo Gothic periods.

The Museum of Stained Glass nearby has close-ups of all the windows, so you can make out the finer details.

A train home and now it's our last night in Paris .
