Visit “Legends and illuminations on the banks of the Eure”
Dive into the imaginary legends of Chartres of yesteryear by the light of the illuminations of the banks of the Eure river of Chartres en lumières.
Night has fallen on Chartres. At the wake, the women tell old stories. Sometimes the devil invites himself to the ball. Along the Eure, the vouivre roams to punish the seducers and here, thwarted lovers will get lost in the wave. Further on, while the cathedral is being built, miracles happen on the construction site and on the paths. The children also dream of treasures hidden in the bowels of the city while in his stable, an old horse starts to fart gold coins. And then... the river is covered with a luxuriant vegetation and a strange fauna appears.
