| Chartres floorplan (1856) by Eugxc3xa8ne Viollet-le-Duc (1814xe2x80x931879) The elevation of the nave, showing the gallery on the ground level; the narrow triforium; and, on top, the windows of the clerestory Flying buttresses supporting the upper walls and counterbalancing the outward thrust of the vaulted ceiling, allowing thin walls and greater space for windows Flying buttresses seen from above The vaults of the roof, connected by stone ribs to the pillars below, combined with the flying buttresses outside make possible thinner walls, and the great height and large windows of the Cathedral | WIKI |
| A two-bay narthex at the western end opens into a seven bay nave leading to the crossing, from which wide transepts extend three bays each to north and south. | WIKI |
| The nave and transepts are flanked by single aisles, broadening to a double-aisled ambulatory around the choir and apse. | WIKI |

| The nave, or main space for the congregation, was designed especially to receive pilgrims, who would often sleep in the church. | WIKI |
| The nave itself was built after the fire, beginning in 1194. | WIKI |
| The floor of the nave also has a labyrinth in the pavement (see labyrinth section below). | WIKI |
| The two rows of alternating octagonal and round pillars on either side of the nave receive part of the weight of the roof through the thin stone ribs descending from the vaults above. | WIKI |
| Whereas the lower windows in the nave arcades and the ambulatory consist of one simple lancet per bay, the clerestory windows are each made up of a pair of lancets with a plate-traceried rose window above. | WIKI |
| The nave and transept clerestory windows mainly depict saints and Old Testament prophets. | WIKI |
| The installation of the Vendxc3xb4me Chapel between two buttresses of the nave in the early 15th century resulted in the loss of one more lancet window, though it did allow for the insertion of a fine late-gothic window with donor portraits of Louis de Bourbon and his family witnessing the Coronation of the Virgin with assorted saints. | WIKI |
| The labyrinth (early 1200s) is a famous feature of the cathedral, located on the floor in the center of the nave. | WIKI |

| Normally medieval churches were built from east to west so that the choir could be completed first and put into use (with a temporary wall sealing off the west end) while the crossing and nave were completed. | WIKI |
| Canon Delaporte argued that building work started at the crossing and proceeded outwards from there,[47] but the evidence in the stonework itself is unequivocal, especially within the level of the triforium: the nave was at all times more advanced than ambulatory bays of the choir, and this has been confirmed by dendrochronology. | WIKI |
| [48] The nave high vaults were erected in the 1220s, the canons moved into their new stalls in 1221 under a temporary roof at the level of the clerestory, and the transept roses were erected over the next two decades. | WIKI |

| A little later, the nave and the choir, reconstructed as of 1194, effected for the first time an architectural formula which would be widely employed throughout the 13th century. | UNESCO |
| The monumental sculptures of Chartres Cathedral are valued both for their abundance and for their quality: the large ensembles, reliefs and statues, of the Royal Portail at the entrance to the nave, the six portals and two porches dating from 1210 at the north and south entrances to the transept, offer a complete panorama of Gothic sculpture from the moment when it broke from Romanesque traditions to attain the subtle balance of idealism and realism that characterises its apogee. | UNESCO |
| All the elements that made it an architectural reference, in particular its nave and choir, remain intact. | UNESCO |
