On the road again, it was pack up and off to Chartres, and sadly to say good by to our little car. The return time was 12noon so we made no stops along the way, dumped our stuff in the hotel room and arrived at Hertz at 11:52. Then a walk back to the hotel through old town and some churches. This town likes churches, 8 total, including a super cathedral. Chartres cathedral is immense, with soaring stained glass windows. They are in the process of cleaning the church inside and out so some areas were closed off yet it is still stunning. We are very pleased with this town, it's been well maintained, yet maintains the old stuff look. The narrow roads wind all around, rarely straight, it's fun to just walk around. A note about the stereotypical French baguette life style - it is true; we've seen literally hundreds of people walk the streets with a baguette in their hand - mostly at night when they picked them up on the way home.
