Eventually there will be links to other pages devoted to Abbeys in the diocese, including:

• Saint Peter ("Saint-Père") of Chartres, the original Benedictine house on the Eure;
• Saint Florentin of Bonneval , an ancient Benedictine house in the Beauce, between Chartres & Chateaudun;
• Saint Cheron of Chartres, an ancient collegial in the cemetery of the city;
• Saint John ("Saint-Jean-en-Vallée") of Chartres, a collegial reformed by St. Ivo;
• Saint Martin ("Saint-Martin-au-Val") of Chartres, perhaps the oldest church in the present city, an important priory of Marmoutier in the 12th century;
• Saint André, a collegial on the banks of the Eure, below the apse of the cathedral, on the site of the ampetheater of the Roman city;
• Josaphat ("Saint Mary of Josaphat") at Levès, in the valley of the Eure, a few kilometers downstream from Chartres; founded by Bishop Godfrey (of Levès) and the necropolis of several 12th century Bishops, including John of Salisbury;
• Les Vaux-de-Cernay, an important early daughter of Citeaux, in the forest of the Chevreuse;
