The town centre of Chartres. Google Maps.
The town centre of Chartres fits within the perimeter of the former ramparts, around Notre-Dame cathedral. Rebuilt after the fire of 1194, it has kept most of its thirteenth-century stained glass, which earned it a place on the UNESCO World Heritage list. The cloister surrounding it, with the rue Muret, the rue Chantault and the rue au Lait, is the oldest fabric in the town.
Towards the south, the district descends to the town hall, the Saint-Pierre church and the shopping streets, from the rue des Changes to the rue des Bouchers, as far as the boulevard Chasles and the place des Épars. The street names, from Corroierie to Foulerie by way of Tannerie, recall the water-based trades, tanning and fulling, that once sustained the lower town.
On the market, the town centre sits at around 2 546 €/m² for an apartment, on roughly 119 sales a year, by far the largest volume in the municipality, close to a third of the Chartres total. The median, at 2 552 €/m², tracks the average: the market here is homogeneous despite the diversity of the building stock.
The town centre attracts buyers who want everything within walking distance, investors and Paris-region households looking for a property with character. Demand focuses above all on small and mid-sized units, with a clear premium for renovated buildings and for the rare properties with a lift or a parking space, both hard to fit into the medieval fabric.

It is not essential, but it is a criterion that weighs heavily on price. The medieval fabric of the upper town contains many buildings with no lift and no parking, two features that are hard to fit into protected building stock. Properties that do have them trade well above the district average.
