He felt that his whole life was some kind of dream and he sometimes wondered whose it was and whether they were enjoying it.

Chartres Cathedral
This is the famous Chartres Cathedral. It was really beautiful. I wanted to go up in the towers and see the gargoyles, but the people with me got bored easily. There is also a huge labyrinth under the church which I wanted to see but didn't. Maybe I will get to go back before I leave France. Anyway, it is incredibly impressive. Notre Dame of Paris has a really cozy feeling when you enter, but this church just makes you feel really insignificant. Massive and cold are two words I will always associate with it.
