The Paris Chartres Pilgrimage is a three-day walk from the cathedral of Notre-Dame de Paris to the cathedral of Notre-Dame de Chartres, approximately 60 miles. This pilgrimage originated in the 12th century, with interruptions for the various wars our European brethren seem to find themselves in from time to time.
Pilgrims are organized into groups of 20-60 people, that are referred to as “chapters”. The “walk” is through the streets of Paris, and then into the countryside.
It can be muddy, rocky, and demanding, but the rewards of such a penitential exercise are eternal. Each chapter is accompanied by at least one chaplain, who hears confession and gives spiritual direction to each pilgrim who avails himself of the priest’s presence.
The Paris to Chartres Pentecost Pilgrimage in 2025 will take place on June 7-9, 2025. The pilgrimage, which involves a walk of approximately 60 miles over 3 days, begins at Notre-Dame de Paris and ends at Chartres Cathedral. The concluding Mass will be celebrated in Chartres Cathedral on Pentecost Monday, June 9.
