MIL OSI Translation. Government of the Republic of France statements from French to English –
President Emmanuel Macron visited Chartres, in Eure-et-Loir, this Friday, on the occasion of the 41st edition of the European Heritage Days.
He visited the Lorin Workshops and the treasure of the Notre-Dame de Chartres cathedral, accompanied by Brigitte Macron and Stéphane Bern, in charge of the Heritage Mission.
Created in 1863, the Lorin Workshops were operated until 2017. The city of Chartres then purchased the buildings in order to perpetuate the activity of these stained glass creation and restoration workshops, to promote the rich archive collection and to develop a museum component.
As part of the Heritage Lottery, 500,000 euros are being devoted to the renovation of the Workshops.
