Cathédrale Notre-Dame, AMIENS, Picardie.

One of the greatest French cathedrals, built in the High Gothic style between 1220 and 1280. The nave reaches a stunning 140ft/42.5m in height. The choir screens and stalls are outstanding.

This Cathedral is an ongoing project for me. I hope the present photos are an improvement on my earlier set, but there is much more to do on my next visit.

I am so thankful for these pictures as I need them for teaching sometimes.

This is the most beautiful church I have ever been in, thank you for allowing me to see the inside of the choir section and the light show is hauntingly the most touching thing I have ever seen.
