Amiens Notre -Dame Cathedral has been described in the following terms: light, perfection... built to harmonious proportions. The progress in techniques, experience gained on other building sites, and the speed of its construction confer an extraordinary architectural unity to Amiens cathedral. It is France's largest Gothic edifice (145m long and 70 m wide) and has the loftiest nave in France. It could hold two cathedrals the size of Notre Dame de Paris. The cathedral holds exceptional statuary that is a fine testimony to the beauty of Gothic art. The restoration of the West facade uncovered the polychrome decor of the porches. The statues regain their medieval colours thanks to the light projectors that focus on them during shows staged in the summer season. Amiens cathedral was listed as UNESCO's World Heritage Sites in 1981 for its outstanding architecture and in 1998, as a stage on the way to Compostella . Telephone: +33(0)3 22 71 60 50 ...
