St. Pierre church is what remains of the ancient Saint Père en Vallée abbey, where Saint Gilduin's tomb was discovered and is also the presumed site of Saint Fulbert's grave, Bishop of Chartres, in the beginning of year one thousand. St Pierre's with its history and its elegant and slender architecture became the reliquary shrine to the precious remains of famous Chartres saints. Ornamented with guilloche in the style of jewellers, inlaid with precious stones, decorated with statues, St Pierre is the architectural treasure of the lower city, built by master stone and glass craftsmen. On the medieval tower with its rough steeple porch, lies the hieratic reinvented recumbent statue of Saint Fulbert of Chartres.

Fixed scene.
