Our mission

Chartres, sanctuaire du Monde (CSM) is a not-for-profit public interest association governed by the law of 1901. It was set up to work for the long-term future and reputation of the Cathedral of Our Lady of Chartres and to bring about and foster all the individual and collective initiatives likely to contribute to this. CSM works together closely with the region’s historical monuments preservation body in choosing the work to be funded. This exemplary collaboration is the result of a desire shared by the government departments and the volunteers working for the association to collect the maximum amount of resources for the preservation of this sanctuary.
