 AmiensAmiens north of Rouen, is a big town with a small population. As one approaches, spires seem to dominate the skyline. The first sight of the cathedral is breathtaking as one is dwarfed by its awesome size, the largest and most Classical of French cathedrals. Built in 1152, it stands majestic beckoning the visitor to step beyond into its interior. The space inside engulfs and drowns — the ceiling is 42.3 m high compared to Chartres, which is 37 m. The solemn majesty of these cathedrals with their soaring spires, the experience of space within, the ingenuous flying buttresses, the artistic rose windows, the monumental soaring lines and the sculptured procession of saints in their regalia make them an exhilarating and awesome experience. One does not simply walk out of the cathedral saying one monument over; rather its experience lingers to create a mental serenity and aspiring for another experience. Hotels Amiens Picardy News
