Amiens: Cathedral

One of the main sights to see in Amiens is the cathedral, one of the tallest in France. It was breathtaking—truly enormous, with plenty of towering arches, stained glass windows, and a black and white labyrinth pattern on the marble floor.  There were also military memorials throughout, honoring both French and foreign troops who fought during World War I (this part of France is rich in WWI and WWII history).
