Chartres en lumières celebrates Christmas

The royal portal of Notre-Dame Cathedral is dressed in its festive clothes. A succession of colourful scenographies telling the story of the last days before Christmas.

A big clock ticks away the last few minutes before the holidays. The Christmas decorations come to life: little angels twirl around the branches of the tree and Christmas candles fly up to the stars. The famous stained glass windows of the cathedral are gradually disappearing under the snowfall. Christmas has arrived... A creation by M2.Creative
