- From the grand and magnificent Cathedral de Notre Dame to whimsical little Maison de Picassiette, Chartres is a city filled with labours of love.Just an hour east of Paris, Chartres makes an easy day trip but its quiet and understated charm makes it ideal for a longer stay.

- After going up the 200-some-odd steps of the North Tower in the Cathedral de Nortre Dame de Chartres, I was inspired and impressed by the masons of old who had the faith to create such a wondrous House of God.

- On the way to the Loire Valley, France in 1985, our group of 27 students and 6 chapperones took a short trip to visit Chartres, a city dominated by it's beautiful Gothic Notre Dame Cathedral and soak up its history and colorful past.

- After you've seen the cathedral, see the Maison Picassiette, a small cottage entirely decorated with shards of broken china, even its furnishings and fixtures. It is a 25-year labor of love constructed by a cemetery caretaker named Raymond Isidore.

- I stumbled upon Easter Sunday Mass at Chartres during a spring vacation to France, a delightful accident for us (and my family is not very religious) that should be a planned excursion for anyone.
