Magic. This guided tour is in many ways. Born of a brilliant idea, this two-time night visit brings light to honour. During the first part, it is with Gilles Fresson, a co-ordinating officer with the Rector of the Cathedral, that you are invited to rediscover the building… in the light of candles. Thus you wander through the crypts then in the silent cathedral and dive in the darkness as if you were pilgrims of the Middle Ages. During the visit, Gilles Fresson tells you the history, legends and mysteries surrounding the cathedral. Then you get out of the building and you turn off candles to enjoy, in a second part and a guide from the tourist office, some of the sites illuminated in the context of "Chartres in Enlightenment". The scenes of this festival, its technical aspects and the artistic work of Xavier de Richemont (author of the lighting Designs) will no longer have secrets for you… In sum, during this visit you will learn to see the cathedral and the city otherwise, and you will leave with stars full of eyes.

Superbe
Pas eu la chance de faire la visite guidée de nuit, mais guidée ou pas la cathédrale (que j'ai visitée du sol au plafond plusieurs fois de jour) et ses lumières le soir sont magnifiques. Il y a un énorme travail derrière tout ça. Il faut profiter d'une journée chaude pour découvrir le plus agréablement possible, à la tombée de la nuit, tous les monuments éclairés et le "show" sur le parvis de la Dame. C'est impressionnant. J'y ai assisté à trois reprises à quelques années d'intervalle et c'est toujours mieux que la fois précédente... Et en plus c'est gratuit ! Sans oublier qu'on est en plein centre ville et que le parking souterrain est à côté. Bonne visite !

The Tourist Office offers guided tours during the season of " Chartres in Lumières" from April to October.
Two types of visits: Chartres in Lights and Chartres in Lights Privilege (with the visit of the crypt in more). The visits take place Vendredis or Samedis according to the selected theme. For rates, it is to better take the Pass Chartres which is more advantageous because he gives access to other entrances (cathedral.) 22:30 at 1:00, strolls in the city to admire the scenographies installation on the historic main monuments, the bridges, the laundrettes. One can also see famous portraits of men projected on the walls of certain houses. A treat for the eyes!! Super guide lecturer!! An insane talent for all the scenographers who worked with this project!!
A great opportunity to explore the city of Chartres differently. The concept is not new: all the important buildings Lyon are clarified every year on December 8th. Chartres, numerous buildings are illuminated: the cathedral of course, the theatre, the museum of Fine Arts including several museums. A visit is available on the website chartresenlumières.com.
