Read moreUnderstanding the towers of Amiens Cathedral
• Great stylistic unity. The cathedral was built in the 12th century but largely rebuilt between 1220 and 1270, after the cathedrals at Chartres and Reims. The form of its chevet was copied elsewhere up to the end of the Middle Ages. During restoration in the 19th century, Viollet-le-Duc principally worked on the corner towers which house the staircases, on the balustrades at the top of the towers, on the gargoyles and on the Galerie des Sonneurs.

What people think about it Un chef d'oeuvre de l'art gothique. Une pure merveille qui donne le vertige. Cathédrale qui mériterait d'être plus connue voire reconnue. Si proche de Paris et pourtant si lointaine pour les Parisiens et Franciliens.
