How long does it take to see Chartres in lights?

The tour of the sites, along the boulevards, around the cathedral and along the Eure, extends over 5 to 7 km. The scenographies of the royal portal of Chartres cathedral last 30 minutes (about 15 minutes by scenography). The other animated illuminations last between 3 and 5 minutes.

Plan to spend a whole evening enjoying all the illuminations at your own pace. You are free to wander around the city centre and build your own route according to your wishes.
