The rain and the cold did not stop the most motivated. Many families have gathered, alongside elected officials from Chartres and the association The Showcases of Chartres (Eure-et-Loir), this Friday, December 3, 2021, for the launch Christmas lights.
The magical moment, which marks the start of the Christmas festivities in Chartres, took place on the cathedral esplanade. The 12-meter-high tree was illuminated to the applause of the inhabitants and the new scenography of Chartres en lumière was projected.
