Featured Sites in France Chartres Cathedral Chartres, Centre One of the greatest achievements in the history of architecture, Chartres Cathedral is almost perfectly preserved in its original medieval design, from its famed portal sculptures to glowing stained glass. St-Germain-des-Prés Paris, Ile-de-France Built to house a relic of the True Cross brought from Spain in 542, this church was so powerful in the Middle Ages that it became a town within a town. Notre-Dame-la-Grande Poitiers, Poitou-Charentes This unique Romanesque-Byzantine church of the 11th and 12th centuries has one of the finest Romanesque faces in France, covered in a jumble of carvings of saints and biblical scenes.
