Amiens Cathedral, located in Amiens, France
the capital of Picardy. This is the tallest complete cathedral in France. It was
1220 and was completed in 1266. Emily and I took a train from France, walked
straight to the cathedral, went to one gift shop in front of the cathedral and
back to Paris. It was a great one day trip. Here are some pictures of the
cathedral.
