chartes and blois.


This weekend I went to Chatres and saw the Cathedral. It was beautiful. The blue in the stained glass is no longer made, so it is very unique and awesome. The windows were so important to the people in the town, they were taken out during WWI and WWII in order to save them from being destroyed. I thought that was very cool.






Also, if any one is looking to get a tattoo or piercing there is a very clean and nice place in Blois. If you climb up the thousand stairs in the middle of the town and go to the right, towards the Church, it is on the left. It is very clean and the people were very nice. If you dont speak much French, they speak little English so its ok. I went with a group of about 8, 2 of us got tattoos and 5 of us got piercings. However, note before you climb the stairs, they only take cash and the atm is on the bottom of the stairs, so get the cash before you go up, or you will be exercising more than you planned on. :)
