Illuminated sites: Almost everywhere in the city, twenty-one sites are preparing to put on their clothes of light: the cathedral (royal portal, southern portal and northern portal), the Museum of Fine Arts, the Eurelium, the Collegiate Church of Saint- André, the bridges and washhouses on the banks of the Eure, Saint-Pierre church, rue Saint-Pierre (during the season), place Billard, the De Lattre de Tassigny fresco, the Montescot hotel, the theater de Chartres and the tip of the L’Apostrophe media library.
Partnership : For the first time this year, a partnership has been set up between the City and the Gobelins school in Paris. Twenty-five students in the 3rd year of motion design worked on mappings of around one minute, on the theme of theatre, which will be projected on the monument from Saturday May 7, in addition to the Illusions scenography, by Marie- Jeanne Gauthe.
Agenda : The 19th edition of Chartres en lumière will take place every evening, from April 30 to January 14, 2023. April 30, 9 p.m. to 1 a.m. From May 1 to July 31, from 10 p.m. to 1 a.m. From August 1 to 31, from 9:30 p.m. to 1 a.m. From September 1 to 30, from 8:30 p.m. to 1 a.m. From October 1 to January 14, 2023, from 6:30 p.m. to 10:30 p.m.

Philately:
After a first special operation Chartres en lumière in 2016, a second booklet of stamps around the Chartrain event is published this year, in partnership with La Poste. Eight emblematic places of the city’s heritage, illuminated for the occasion, are honored in this limited edition, printed in 5,000 copies: the royal portal of the cathedral and two viewpoints of the northern portal, the church of Saint -Pierre, the theater of Chartres, as well as two illustrations of the Quai Gloriette and the Halle Billard.
The booklet of stamps, sold for €13, is available in all post offices in Eure-et-Loir, but also from postmen.
