Chartres France

Here is a clear, natural English (USA) translation of your text: --- Chartres is a small city in the Centre-Val de Loire region of France, about an hour southwest of Paris by train. The population is 42,000, but that number rises to 100,000 when you include the surrounding towns. The main attraction for most visitors to Chartres is the 12th-century cathedral, which many art historians consider the finest surviving example of High Gothic architecture. In the past couple of years, a new mayor has overseen the modernization of the town center. This has sparked both positive and negative reactions from the locals, known as "Chartrains," but there’s no doubt that the town is experiencing a kind of renewal. After you’ve visited the cathedral, take some time to explore the rest of the town. There are other beautiful churches and several museums. Chartres has charming narrow streets, an interesting fruit and vegetable market, and a general sense of warmth throughout the town. Most people come for the cathedral, but end up staying for everything else Chartres has to offer.
