A Scandalous Makeover at Chartres

The author is ignorant, it doesn't take long to learn that the cathedral is not being repaint, there was a 1cm layer of dust and once removed it revealed on 80% of the surface a yellow paint : http://www.parismatch.com/Culture/Art/Chartres-retour-a-la-f... The cathedral was gloom, it is for the better. When the only french newspaper that agree with you is Le Figaro, you should know you are wrong. The comparaison with antique statues is not valid, the paint on those statues are completely lost, the paint on the cathedral is just under disgusting dust.

Man...white people are something,

The author comes across as being nostalgic of how he grew to perceive the cathedral should look, with little regard of how it was originally created.

I've seen the renovation in progress, and happen to like it. But that's just my opinion...
