Chartres Labyrinth Tours

Chartres Labyrinth Tours offers a unique journey to the labyrinth at Chartres Cathedral. Tour topics include sacred geometry, hidden symbolism, Black Virgins, the Green Man, Rose Windows, and the summer solstice.

Pilgirms have been walking this winding path for over 800 years. Built around 1200 AD, the Chartres labyrinth is called "The Road to Jerusalem," denoting both the Holy Land on Earth, and the Celestial City in Heaven. Walking the labyrinth is considered both a physical and spiritual journey, a truly unique path of meditation. Join us and see for yourself.
