Chateaus and Cathedrals
We are located in a region where historic buildings are plentiful. Chateau d'Eu stands beautifully in this pretty town, while the Amiens Cathedral is the largest gothic structure in France. Rouen is a wonderful day out with the most amazing cathedral. The city centre is full of great bars and restaurants.
Amiens Cathedral
The largest Gothic church in France!
On the site of the previous cathedral, which suffered from a fire in 1218, the architect Robert de Luzarches proposed an ambitious project for which Bishop Évrard de Fouilloy laid the first stone two years later. The proportions of the building are indeed gigantic: 145 meters long and 42.30 meters high. The interior space is estimated at 200,000 cubic meters, more than double that of Notre Dame de Paris!
Started at the crossing of the transept in 1220, the structural work was completed less than fifty years later, in 1269, and the framework was laid between 1284 and 1305.
