Chartres Story
About This Novel
Chartres is located in the Eure-Loire department at the junction of the Île-de-France region and the Center region. It is located on a hill, on the left bank of the Eure River, in the middle of the Beauce Plain. Chartres is located southwest of Paris, 71 kilometers apart. It is a quiet small city with a population of about 42,000. It is world-famous for its cathedral. It is designated as a World Cultural Heritage by UNESCO. It is also one of the nine famous churches in France and one of the four early cathedrals. On the top of the high hill is the Chartres Church. Below the church lies this quiet town. The river flows around the city and divides into three forks in the city center. Therefore, residents live by the river. The back gardens of the houses are close to the river, like a water garden. The rare thing about the small town is that it is very quiet. There is no sound in the city, as if no one is inhabited.
