===Pilgrimages===
Chartres has been a site of Catholic pilgrimages since the Middle Ages. The poet [[Charles Péguy]] (1873–1914) revived the pilgrimage route between Paris and Chartres before [[World War I]]. After the war, some students carried on the pilgrimage in his memory. Since 1982, the association ''[[Notre-Dame de Chrétienté]]'',<ref>[http://www.nd-chretiente.com Association Notre-Dame de Chrétienté]</ref> with offices in [[Versailles, Yvelines|Versailles]], organizes the annual {{convert|100|km|mi|abbr=on}} pilgrimage on foot from ''[[Notre-Dame de Paris]]'' to ''Notre-Dame de Chartres''. About 15,000 pilgrims, from France and countries outside France, participate every year.
