French city SW of Paris (8)

I believe the answer is:

chartres

(Other definitions for chartres that I've seen before include "Cathedral city in north-west France" , "City southwest of Paris - arch rest (anag)" , "Famous French cathedral city" , "French city - her carts (anag)" , "cathedral location" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
