    Chartres Cathedral - Image 1

    Description

    Chartres Cathedral, also known as the Cathedral of Our Lady of Chartres (French: Cathédrale Notre-Dame de Chartres), is a Roman Catholic church in Chartres, France, about 80 km (50 miles) southwest of Paris and is the seat of the Bishop of Chartres. Mostly constructed between 1194 and 1220, it stands at the site of at least five cathedrals that have occupied the site since the Diocese of Chartres was formed as an episcopal see in the 4th century. It is in the High Gothic and Romanesque styles.

    The cathedral is designated a World Heritage Site by UNESCO, which calls it "the high point of French Gothic art" and a "masterpiece".[2]

    The cathedral is well-preserved for its age: the majority of the original stained glass windows survive intact, while the architecture has seen only minor changes since the early 13th century. The building's exterior is dominated by heavy flying buttresses which allowed the architects to increase the window size significantly, while the west end is dominated by two contrasting spires – a 105-metre (349 ft) plain pyramid completed around 1160 and a 113-metre (377 ft) early 16th-century Flamboyant spire on top of an older tower. Equally notable are the three great façades, each adorned with hundreds of sculpted figures illustrating key theological themes and narratives.

    Since at least the 12th century the cathedral has been an important destination for travellers. It remains so to the present, attracting large numbers of Christian pilgrims, many of whom come to venerate its famous relic, the Sancta Camisa, said to be the tunic worn by the Virgin Mary at Christ's birth, as well as large numbers of secular tourists who come to admire the cathedral's architecture and historical merit.

    Hi Thalixte
    Thanks for this beautiful cathedral (and for all your work until now to enhance MSFS)
    Alas there is now a conflict with France VFR Obstacles & Reperes (ORVFR)
    Did you include an exclude (;-)) in your file ? Or do you think it's possible to make one ?
    Thanks a lot anyway

    No, since it was the first addon i made, and it was made before the ORVFR addon compatibility with MSFS 2020, i guess

    I tried to fix the France VFR compatibility, but since i don't own the product, i cannot guarantee it will work (it was the only addon where i did not put any exclusion rectangle or polygon).
