Chartres vs Bourges

I’ll be somewhere in the middle between these two towns and would like to visit one or the other.

Which did you prefer if you have seen both?

Thanks!

I used to live somewhat in the orbit of Bourges ( a bit east of there) and I've been to Chartres. Bourges is a larger town with more to see especially if you live in France, but Chartres has its fabulous cathedral. If I were in the position of visiting one or the other, I would go to Chartres and reserve ahead of time a guided tour of the cathedral.
