The Galerie de Chartres is a covered passageway within the Palais-Royal in central Paris that stretches approximately 68 meters long and 24 meters wide. The passage links different sections of the complex and functions as a protected corridor connecting other galleries within the palace grounds.
The passage was named in the 19th century after a member of the French royal family who had claims to the throne. This naming was part of a broader effort to honor significant historical figures through the palace architecture.

The passage is accessible from outside through several entrances and offers a sheltered route across the Palais-Royal grounds. Visitors can use it to move between different areas of the complex without exposure to the elements.
