Notre Dame d'Amiens

Paris is not the only city in France to have a Notre Dame cathedral. I've been told there are over a hundred of them. Whilst it is the most famous of them all, the one in Paris is not the biggest, even before the fire.

Notre Dame Cathedral in Amiens is big, REALLY BIG, in fact, the biggest in France. It is about twice the size by volume as the one in Paris. It dominates the skyline from way out of town.

Over summer, there is a light show projected onto the face of the cathedral, firstly an artistic exhibition, then a static display putting colour into each and every feature of the cathedral. It is an awesome display.Les mer
