What did you think about the Festival of light?

Lydia, 53 : "The work done is fantastic! It is very, very beautiful. On the north gate of the cathedral, the colours bring out all the details of the sculpture that you usually miss. It doesn't feel like you are in Chartres. It changes completely the appearance of the sites."

Guillaume, 25 : "I prefer the Montescot scenography. Each scene interacts with the public. However, I am disappointed by the place des Halles, which is not so good : you can't see the lit up ground when you stand on it."

Solène, 17 : "I came two years ago, but this year is stupendous. Each light gives an atmosphere, like here at place Billard. You'd think you were in hell with all these flames and the red that lights up the hall. I was also stirred by the classical music on the cathedral's square."

Claude, 64 : "The Saint-Pierre church is illuminated from inside to highlight the stained glass windows. It's magnificent. Each site has something special. We saw everything. It was a good idea to hold the festival over the two days of the weekend, the crowd was less dense. Well done Chartres council, it is a success."

Pascale and Jean-Pierre : "It's the first time we came to see the Chartres illuminations. It is superb. It takes you back in time. We saw people who arrived very early so as to see everything: it is a good thing for the city."


Jean-Yves : "I come here often. This is at least the third time this year. And this time, I came with a member of my family who had not seen it. I think that the idea and the production are superb. And it is good when there aren't too many people: you appreciate it much better."

Isabelle : "This is our first time. It's really great. I thought the way the colours were used was just wonderful. We came especially for this event, this evening, out of curiosity. We're not disappointed. We have the map and will visit all the illuminations. "

Jacques : "It's the first time this year. We should have come a month ago! I find the north portal better than previous years. In any case, it's a really good event for the city, its inhabitants and the tourists. Everyone admires it all. "
