Chartres Labrynith
 

We would like to walk the labrynith at Chartres in the first week of Oct, 2002. Are there any restrictions, are there special times and or days, any suggestions?<BR>

I don't know how to tell you when you can walk it; just know that when we took a day-trip there, and enjoyed one of Mr. Miller's sessions, the labyrinth was covered with chairs for extra seating, and I almost missed seeing it altogether. Hopefully someone can tell you who to call for best times to be able to walk it.

The labyrinth was closed the day I was there in the summer of 2000. Maybe there's a website that publishes the hours it's open. Try putting Chartres Cathedrale into www.google.com and see what pops up.<BR><BR>Bonne chance

When I went to Chartres in May a couple of years ago, the labyrinth was cleared of chairs an hour before closing and visitors were welcome to do its circuits. That was around 5 or 6 pm, on a weekday. It is definitely worth staying till closing to experience the labyrinth, even if you're not religious. Good luck.

Connie,<BR>I was in Chartres last February 15 and 16 and the labyrinth was uncovered the 3 different times I went (one afternoon and 2 early mornings). You can check in the shop in the cathedral.<BR>sj

I just sent this to Connie, but wanted to pass it on to anyone else who might be interested:<BR><BR>http://www.usatoday.com/travel/vacations/background/france-chartres.htm<BR><BR>All kinds of wonderful info about Chartres and the cathedral, including the following:<BR><BR>"Chartres' labyrinth is open to visitors.
