One of the strangest sites in Chartres is the Maison Picassiette. Raymond Isidore (1900-1964) made art without knowing it. He was a tramway conductor, a cemetery sweeper and covered patiently his house, garden, furniture during 30 years with small pieces of faience, porcelain and broken pottery.

Cathedral

Edit This

It’s arriving from the northeast that you’re most impressed by the majesty of this gothic monument of 130 m total length (the nave measures 73 meters for a width of 32 meters (the widest of France). And a height of 36.5 m). All around you have Chartres, a medieval city, lying in the midst of wheat and cornfields. Already from very far you see the spire of the cathedral, pilgrims used as a landmark since centuries.
