Born in La Beauce region, writer and poet Charles Péguy (1873-1914) saw Chartres cathedral as his own. He went on a pilgrimage on two occasions, in 1912 and 1913, to Chartres from his home in Palaiseau, Essonne, a distance of some 140 kilometres return. The organisation L'Amitié Charles Péguy commermorated the century of his pilgrimage by creating Le Chemin Charles Péguy. Blue and white markers plot out the route.
