What power struggle once shattered the silence of Notre-Dame de Chartres Cathedral? Which artwork in the Musée des Beaux-Arts hides a forbidden affair? Why do some say the cathedral’s labyrinth still echoes with a lost, perilous challenge?

Trace the city’s tangled timeline, moving from grand facades to shadowy courtyards in search of drama, mystery, and memories written in stone. Every corner whispers new truths and unveils hidden corners for those bold enough to look.
