Chartres or St Denis Cathedral - which to choose?

Jump to last reply

I will be visiting Paris shortly with two friends. On the Friday, they are heading out to Versailles, and since I was there two years ago, I am going to take the opportunity to visit somewhere I haven't seen before.

I have narrowed down all the Paris day trip possibilites to Chartres - the town and cathedral, or St. Denis. Which would you choose and why? I have checked out a few of the threads on here, but didn't see a direct comparison.

I watched the PBS show about building gothic cathedrals on my computer last night. Very interesting!

Thanks in advance for any guidance you can provide.
