Amazing vaulted interior and stunning clock. Absolutely recommend, followed by a visit to the town museum just across the street.

This is a very beautiful place it is in the center. Beside the cathedral there is a small cottage which you can visit. The Cathedral is peaceful and quite. There are some magazines you can get or books. It is amazing.

if you are interested in Gothic Cathedrals, Beauvais is a must. The unfinished cahtedral boasts the highest nave in the world. It has some old stained glass and a huge, ornate astronomical clock. We were not aware of it but at noon we were usher out because they close from 12:00 until 2:00.

although there were some building works happening, that place is majestic...and for me totally unexpected in that small city such is Beauvais

We took a day trip to Beauvais (it is between both Rouen and Chantilly) to see Europe's tallest cathedral. It did not disappoint and the astronomical clock inside is beautiful to behold. There is a great little cafe across the street to eat at and enjoy views of the cathedral.

Probably the only reason to visit Beauvais,and what a corker of a reason as well! Beautiful building both inside and out although the surrounding buildings of the town aren't very attractive. Clock is stunning!!! Definetly visit this one!
