History
The floor of the cathedral in Chartres is paved in the form of a circular labyrinth, reminiscent of the Scandinavian ones. The labyrinth symbolizes the path to God.
There is only one right path to the center of this labyrinth, that is, it is impossible to get lost in it if you keep going. People often pray, meditate and seek answers to inner questions here.
