"I've been living in Beauvais for the last 7 months and I can tell you this cathedral never stops amazing me! Everytime I pass by, I just look at it and stand in awe. It is such a beautiful cathedral that you shouldn't miss if you're coming to Beauvais! Most people come to take their ryainair flights...", all you have to do is to take some time before your flight to visit this wonderful cathedral

"I remember years ago performing the medieval 'Play of Daniel' - written 'here within Beauvais Cathedral by the students of the song school' - I often wondered what Beauvais Cathedral looked like!
I pass through Beauvais a lot and I have visited this Cathedral dozens of times. It always takes my b..."reath away, the sheer height of the choir, the highest in Europe, is just amazing! How did they know how to build it so high in the 13th century? The cathedral is incomplete - there is no nave, just a choir and crossing. Chapels contain medieval stained glass from the 13th century and there is a clock, probably the oldest fully preserved and functioning mechanical clock in Europe that dates from the 14th/15th century.
The sheer height has caused problems and modern methods have had to be used to keep this structure standing - but it is stunning - well worth a visit - I think, one of my favourite buildings in the whole of France!

"I arrived in Beauvais after having visited Amiens. I had a plane to catch so I had one afternoon to spend in the city! If it hadn't been for the plane, I would have missed an important monument! The cathedral is a splendour! Even if unfinished, it is imposing, being a wondrous example of Gothic arch..."itecture! As far as the interior is concerned, it is impressive through the large stained glass windows, a fascinating astronomical clock, the oldest chiming clock in the world, the tallest choir in the world and so much more. Definitely a must see!
