Mill and Saint-Père bridge - Chartres en lumières

Flamingos flying away, endless rivers in the middle of immense forests, heavenly lagoons, a sky adorned with a thousand colors... The dream is not far away.

Fauna and flora : M2 | Agence événementielle en Normandie has concocted for you a magical stroll, with sound ambiences conducive to immersion. Animals escape from a medieval bestiary to find themselves on the various bridges and wash houses scattered along the Eure. The banks of the river, the bridges, the laundries and the collegiate church of Saint-André change in appearance and become the home of animals and trees from elsewhere, even from another time.

A little history

Originally built in wood, the Saint-Père bridge is certainly the oldest bridge in Chartres. In the 14th century, it was used as a reservoir for three mills (Saint-Père, des Morts and Herle), which soon became one.

In 1892, under one of its arches, a door was built to allow the city workers to clean the river. Today, only the frame remains.
