   • Chartres Cathedral. Built during the 12th century, Chartres Cathedral is one of the greatest pieces of gothic architecture, if not in France then the entire world.
   • Maison Picassiette. From the 1930s to 1962 the cemetery sweeper Raymonde Isidore built this simple, three-roomed house for himself and his family. If that doesn’t sound so exciting you have to see how he decorated it, with thousands of shards of broken faience and glass.
   • Église Saint-Pierre. This fascinating gothic church once belonged to the Benedictine monastery St-Père-en-Vallée, dissolved after the Revolution. The monastery dated back to the 7th century and the eagle-eyed visitor will find a few clues about the great age of the building.
   • Eure Riverside. If you want to get a feel for medieval Chartres make for the lower town on the banks of the Eure. It doesn’t get much prettier than the waterside here, which has vegetable gardens, half-timbered wash-houses, water-mills and humpback bridges, recalling medieval times when tanners and such plied their trade by the water.
