La Chartre-sur-le-Loir is a commune in the Sarthe department in the Pays de la Loire region in north-western France.
The surviving church dedicated to St. Vincent was designed by the architect Delarue circa 1830. It possesses interesting mid-nineteenth century stained glass depicting the saint and other personages.
