Unbelievably beautiful cathedral! Have seen quite a few in my lifetime but this one was special. Beautifully restored and not too busy. Loved the inside even more than the outside.

If you are only in Chartres for a few hours spend them visiting the incredible and Architecturally astounding Cathedral. Being the first UNESCO awarded and supported further by the volume of original stain glass. If able to stay for the evening the light show on and around this Cathedral and the surrounding Chartres centre is highly recommended.

Beautiful cathedral of Chartres. They made beautiful renovations, everything is really clear and neat. Even with clouds and no sunshine, the inside is bright enough to see through the painted glasses of the windows. They are marvelous piece of art. If you have the chance to be in the area, you should take the time to walk there and look for yourself how gigantic and stunning it is. What actually surprised me the most is how modern they are inside. They have contactless payment card machine for donation at each corner of the cathedral. So if you don't have coins like me, you can still use your card to pay to lit a candle or novena. The hours of the priest are written on a card board inside. The confessional is brightly litten and has a priest waiting inside for anyone who wants to confess theirs sins. This is unseen for me before today in France. There is also a treasury room which you have to pay to access it. Overall a great place to visit. I advise to park your car at the parking lot of Cathedral. There almost non existant place to park there.

Magnificent, historic, surrounded by lots of cafes, bars, restaurants and shops and not flooded with tourists when we visited. Chartres is an utterly beautiful city well worth a couple of days of your time. BEWARE, the cathedral is atop a hell of a climb up through steeply sloped streets.

An excellent holy place in the heart of Chartres, our lady of Chartres Cathedral is a must visit. You can visit during the day for prayer and tourism and during the night for an exquisite laser show. Enjoy...

One of the greatest High Gothic cathedrals now reinvented with its controversial very light painting of the pillars and vaulted ceilings… it grew on me as we walked round, I concluded it’s wonderful not least by setting off the magical 13th C stained glass. We love the way it feels it’s still an active place of worship, not the case in all French cathedrals.

A beautiful cathedral that easily rivals the Paris equivalent. We were lucky to visit at a time where it was illuminated at night. Very impressive. However if you're visiting the crypt, make sure you are told correctly where the tour starts, as we were given wrong instructions and therefore missed it. Staff could have been more helpful here.

Amazing place to visit. So much to look at. The amount of thought gone into decorating this house is astonishing.So many little faces in the walls . Lots of colourful areas. I do have a concern though. The little fish pond was so green and no noticeable pump to oxygenate the water. The fish were struggling . Not a great expense to sort it out.

I’ve never professed to be a huge art lover but I really enjoyed visiting this home! The history behind it is important so get the info leaflet from the entrance. Well worth the 10 euro entrance. This is a 30 min to an hour visit.

We were very moved by our visit here. It is rare to feel so connected to an artist and the feeling behind their work. He turned recycling in to an art form, well ahead of his time! To turn a humble little dwelling in to such a surprising work of art was inspiring. A must see.

If you would like to be amazed by mozaïek works, you definitely should visit this place. It's a nice walk from Chartres city Centre. At the maison itself you can't stop looking at all the different art works. In every little corner there is New mozaïek to discover.

Raymond Isidore is an interesting man, and an interesting life. How beautiful - such love for his beloved wife and his beloved city.

A nice man and his wife lived in this small house down a long narrow alleyway - and he spent his life covering literally everything in bits of broken pottery - makes a change..

What a beautiful mosaic house tucked away into a tiny nook of a neighbourhood. An attraction that turned out surprisingly a lot more interesting than what I thought it would be. I love how the whole house is filled with mosaics and the quotes from the guy is plastered around. Wish the quotes had English translation under or something. The only reason why we could understand it was because of the paid book available in the souvenir store. An interesting place to seek for inspiration for art.

This is a lovely little church with frescos all over the walls. Whilst looking inside, the organ was playing. What i thought was piped turned out somebody was actually playing. If you are in Chartres, even 1 day, take a 5 minute stroll from the market area and have a look around this quaint church

Free entry, a large church that’s most interesting inside, I would say it is more interesting than the cathedral because you have close views of the stained glass windows and the interior stonework and roof are all painted. In need of restoration work.

Wonderful little church, a hidden gem a few hundred meters from Chartres cathedral. A great example of a medieval church dedicated to St Aignan with painted walls, tapestries and stained glass. Definitely worth a visit

Atmospheric, and oasis of calm, very old and traditional, in the shadow of the cathedral but still go.

Beautiful church and Traditional Latin Mass. Photos taken on Pentecost Sunday AD 2022

Very nice

I loved this place, perhaps more than the cathedral

If you want a day trip from Paris, I highly recommend Chartres, a very charming little town dominated by the Notre Dame de Chartres, a Unesco listed cathedral. Stunning leadlights and the cathedral’s detailed sculptures make you wonder how they built it a thousand years ago and how incredibly talented and clever people were then. My photos do not do the cathedral justice. It’s only 1 hr by train from Paris, unfortunately we couldn’t stay for the cathedral evening light show.

I think most people have missed this nice museum to visit in Chartres. They have good description to the iconography of each object, as well as good video of the technique of making color glass. More worthy to see are their medieval objects of color glasses. The contemporary exhibition downstairs is interesting. In their yard there was an catto seems on alert to the visitors, which made the visit quite “medieval”.

If you love stained glass you must come here. It gives you an opportunity to see medieval stained glass up close. To see repairs and “stop gaps.” There are large scale photos of a large number of windows from Chartres Cathedral so you can study the detail. There is also a contemporary exhibition of modern stained glass which is very thought provoking.

Unless you want to learn more about the biblical meaning of many of the stain glass windows in the Chartres cathedral, you shouldn’t bother to go. It is mind numbing in detail and not very interesting after the first 5 minutes. We hoped/ thought it we would learn more about the process and evolution of same of stain glass over the centuries. Not so much.

Nice and informative museum to visit. Unexpectedly interesting part is to see and learn how glass stain has been and still is done. Good value for money. Recommend

Was really nice+very interesting to see all different stained glass all about history behind it all

Very interesting collection.

In March 1996 I was on a European backpacking trip that went sideways. I didn't intend on visiting France or Paris but did and as an architecture student visited Chartres for the cathedral's gothic significance and then walked around the town finding a beautiful restaurant overhanging the L'Eure. On that sunny March day I reflected that this was the place I wanted to propose to my future, albeit unmet wife. Fast forward 29 years, a marriage and 4 children later, my wife and I made it back where I proposed again and had an absolutely outstanding meal and experience on beautiful sunny March day. C'est bon!

Very gracious hosts. One of the best meals I have had. I was part of a study abroad group from the States. We had with us one girl who can get by with French, but the rest of us knew only “please” and “thank you”. The hosts and servers were very kind and they graciously (and patiently) served us some of the best food I have ever eaten. The atmosphere was wonderful. We all had a great time. Merci Le Moulin De Ponceau. Merci.

Best meal we had in a long time. Attention to detail in the presentation and in the food combination. The waiter was very prepared and polite, explaining to us every dish. The wine I had was fantastic. Definitely recommend and we will come again to visit.

The restaurant is situated in a lovely location next to the river, making for a lovely sunny evening experience. The food is quite high-end, but unfortunately some of the dishes seemed to lack the flavour of the included ingredients. Staff were friendly, and the price is good for the experience, but I think they need to bump up the flavours a bit more.

Former watermill, this spot has to offer a delicate and seasonal cuisine in a clean settings. Efficient and friendly serving staff. Book your spot for a culinary experience. You get to enjoy your meal as well as the view on the river. Menu offers options to satisfy veggie friendly customers. All dishes were perfectly balanced. Great plus was the bread. Won't say much about the dishes to avoid any spoilers (the combination of lukewarm beetroot and strawberry was a delicious surprise!).

This was definitely one of the highlights of our visit to France and certainly to Chartres. The location is picturesque, the staff are friendly and attentive and the food was excellent. The location was so peaceful, service was at a relaxed pace -- a true gem

Amazing experience! Very nice place inside an old windmill, the staff is very welcoming and available, you get serve very quickly. Food is very tasty in small portion but at end of the meal you have enough. We had some little extra! Probably better view of the surrounding during day time. Ask for a table in the veranda if you want be placed near the river!😉

Excellent restaurant. A place where the sun will shine on your plate and in your glass! Romantic, joyful restaurant with great service and wonderful food. We had two desserts since those were too good to be missed. The lasagna is heaven on earth. The recommended wine was a good Fitbit all dishes: crisp, dry and transparent. Not to be missed when in Chartres.

This is my absolute favorite restaurant. I love the truffle pasta. They dont accept walk ins

Fabulous small restaurant, inventive menu, great drinks selection, food exquisitely prepared. Not huge plates but it's not that kind of restaurant. Strongly recommend.

For a good dinner and taste, would I recommend thesis restaurant. Enjoy their service and art of cooking.

The food was very good and there was also a cute cat

I come here everytime i am in Chartres! I love the Troffi Pasta and the service is amazing

Had a fantastic meal with excellent service. The food is expertly prepared and delicious. The restaurant is very comfortable and has the added bonus of Pinocchio the cat who will visit you if you are kind and friendly :-)

Delicious food and very attentive staff. I particularly enjoyed the chocolate sphere which melts when you pour the hot chocolate sauce on it. I'd definitely recommend this restaurant.

I made a last minute reservation here for dinner. The food was excellent! Very welcoming and friendly service. I highly recommend. Thank you!

Had a wonderful meal here on a very warm evening and found the fabulous food was perfectly tailored to the hot weather. Our starters included a delicious mixed tomato salad with burrata and a fresh, perfectly flavoured crab concoction. This was followed with seared tuna with sesame and sea bass with vegetables, and finished with peach Melba and a rich chocolate fondant with hazelnut ice cream. All absolutely perfect. The waiter was extremely kind and attentive, arranging our taxi and even helping my mother, who has limited mobility, all the way to the car afterwards. I'd highly recommend this restaurant and have only marked down the 'atmosphere' a little as the outside terrace at the back is quite small and more practical than beautiful!

Delicious food. Best roast duck I've ever had. My husband's beef lightly seared and not overcooked at all, just as he likes. Tried raw cod fish for starter (first time) and pleasantly surprised. Go if you get the chance. Bar next door a good place to grab an aperitif beforehand. Need to walk here, no parking.

Had lunch there a couple of months ago with friends who own a home in France ! We all agreed , without a doubt, the worst food we have ever had anywhere. The chicken could not be cut with a sharp knife without rocking the table . We all simultaneously looked up , with 75% of all of our food still on the table and requested a check! Avoid this restaurant!

Most attentive service. Warm and inviting atmosphere a delicious food. Creative flavor profiles. A gem if walk down the road a bit in Chartres. Would love to go back

Excellent menu and very attentive staff. Will be sure to return when visiting Chartes in future.

We had a wonderful meal at Julie’s last night. The food was perfection…. I left my bag in the restaurant and didn’t remember until this morning. It contained everything of value - passports, cash, credit cards, 😱 The staff had kept it safe overnight and we retrieved it this morning. Extremely grateful to Julie and the team!!

The atmosphere at lunch was really comfortable, even with a friendly wasp that seemed keen to share my drink. I had the plat + dessert formule. The dorade was perfectly cooked and well-seasoned. I especially enjoyed the crispy skin and flavorful sauce. For dessert, I chose the tiramisu, which unfortunately, didn’t quite work for me.

Food was of an acceptable standard with some variety. However, this was significantly undermined by the very poor and inattentive service. We waited too long for menus and anyone to take our order when we first arrived. Desserts sounded nice but after having our main course we eventually left our table with our plates still uncollected to get our bill and leave.

A popular spot for locals it seems, this place pretends to be more than it is. It wants to be haut cuisine, but comes up short. A very limited dinner menu leaves you with few choices. As typical in France, the portions tend to be small. The food quality is marginal. For example the shrimp in our Entree was dry, not deveined and half peeled.

We had very friendly waiting ladies, they worked so hard running around to ensure that the guests were served on time, truly amazing to see this in France. The ambience was superb, restaurant was decorated very tastefully. The food were presented beautifully, they tasted fantastic too. The chef obviously put in tremendous effort into her cooking and the diners can definitely see and feel her effort. Location was right in the old town, very convenient. Highly recommend it.

We had good evening. The menu wasn't too enticing, but the burger was good. Our dog read welcomed too

Truely worthy of the description bistronomique. It is bistro food at heart but with a level of finesse and inventiveness that rises way above what the term bistro usually implies. Would definitely recommend. Good winelist and service as well!

Obviously, it is a really good restaurant. We went there after the Paris-Chartres pilgrimage in 2025 and found here really good, local produced food for really affordable prices! I would not call this the best experience I ever had, for the reasons below, but I can strongly recommend everyone to go there at least once. But, here are some misses that I would change if I was the owner. -The plates were cold. While serving hot food, especially a steak in a rich sauce it is much better to provide a warm plate to avoid it getting lukewarm just after 10 minutes. - There were not a lot of veggies. Just to make it clear, it was our first time in a French restaurant and we are much more accustomed with the Swedish cuisine - but it came as a surprise to us that there were not more vegetables in the menu. We found the majority of food to be very rich and it lacked some of that lightness to balance things out. - It would be nice to have some butter to the bread. - We found that it was rather loud in the restaurant despite that there were not many more customers other that us. Maybe more curtains could absorb more of the noise? Other than that, we really enjoyed our visit here, the steak was perfect, the decorations and atmosphere was classy and the staff friendly (laid back even). Would definitely come back!

Yes this is a 1-star-Michelin restaurant and supposedly the best in the region. As you would expect, impeccable service, very quiet atmosphere, only a few tables and good service. I went for one of the three Degustation Menue and interesting enough the service really struggles to explain I’m English what the chefs had created as culinary explosions … that is the only short coming of the restaurant in my view - yes I know my fault to not speak good enough French, but a one star restaurant in a tourist town … Otherwise really great food with interesting avant-garde displays … good timings and flavors. My favorite was the fish part … and supporting the local couple next table who was celebrating their 35th year of marriage with this treat :) So go here if you want this extra Michelin start level of quality as a special treat and do not mind that a lot of the intriguing flavors and ingredient combinations will be “lost in translation”

We had a fantastic meal here. The food was of extremely high quality, with some wonderful flavours. There were plenty of additional amuses and petit fours, all expertly crafted. Service was excellent as well. In my opinion this could easily be 2* quality. Highly recommended!

A wonderful experience from the very beginning till the end. The service is excellent: professional, attentive and friendly. The closest description of the food is traditional French cuisine with a nice twist. Michelin star is absolutely deserved!

We were 5 of us staying at the hôtel hoping for a good diner at Le Georges, after the meal 2 of us were sick as a dog all night. Next morning, no consideration, no sorry, no discount, nothing .. from the management or the chef, just the bill. You’d better spend your big money elsewhere where the customer really matter, stay away.

Excellent !
