Part 3

The town of Chartres and it's remarkably well-preserved cathedral.

These figures are typically Romanesque (which is a pre-Gothic style) in that they are very elongated.  Contrast them to some of the Gothic figures you'll see in later pictures.  This part of the building, along with one of the towers, is the only part left over from the Romanesque cathedral that burned on June 10, 1194 (Eric's birthday!).
