What to see?
- The east entrance: very impressive statues everywhere! In the summer there is a special light-show at night showing the statues in their original colours. We didn't see it but the pictures look amazing.
There's a nice big square in front of the church so you always have a great view of the cathedral.
- The head of St-John the Baptist: they do not only own a piece of it but also his whole skull! They used to have much better souvenirs in the old days!
- The impressive Gothic arches: so high and mighty!
- The Labyrinth on the church floor: see pic. A very contemplative walk!

Also see pics in Normandie-album.
Amazing, they have an Medieval labyrinth like in the Chartres Cathedral.
ReplyDeleteSo it must have been an ancient sacred place, before the Christians build a cathedral.
It might have been an old temple ...
I am soooo fascinated by these ancient labyrinths ...
