We calculate the vector and scalar form factors of the pion to two loops inChiral Perturbation Theory. We estimate the unknown O(p^6) constants usingresonance exchange. We make a careful comparison to the available data anddetermine two O(p^4) constants rather precisely, and two O(p^6) constants lessprecisely. We also use Chiral Perturbation Theory to two loops to extract in amodel--independent manner the charge radius of the pion from the availabledata, and obtain \rpiV=0.437\pm 0.016 fm^2.Comment: Latex2e, JHEP.cls, 30 pages 5 figure
