Tallest Cathedral in France

Rouen is a beautiful city with so much to see. The cathedrale of Notre Dame is one example for fine heritage. It is a beautiful and gigantic structure. This romanesque and gothic styled cathedral is known to be the tallest in france since the reconstruction of its cast iron spires. These spires are very noticeable from all across the city. And when you climb up the tower you get an excellent view of the city. More famously if it feels like you have seen it before. That could be due to the great painter Calude Monet, who painted a series of this cathedral. Almost 30 representations of it. Also, the cathedral has the tomb of Richard the Lionheart. The audio tour is recommended as it will provide you very rich insights about the cathedral. If in rouen and walking around, this is a must visit! #myhiddengems #france #summerdestinations #cathedral #europe #100waysoftravel
