Chartres Spires

Chartres, France

The cathedral is immense! To give you some sense of scale, notice the scaffolding going up
the front of the cathedral with the exterior of the rose window behind it. Even in this
image where you can't see the bottom of the scaffolding, you can easily count 15 "floors"
or "stories" that are in view. The "shorter" spire is 344 feet (105 meters) tall, and the
taller spire is 370 feet (113 meters) tall.
