Chartres is consecrated
node
The rebuilt cathedral is consecrated, retaining an exceptional proportion of its 12th- and 13th-century stained glass. The glass is the reason the interior is much darker than most modern visitors expect: the point of the structural system was never brightness, it was the replacement of wall with image.
A node is not a place. Drawing it on a map would assert something about the world that no stored fact supports.
