Lonely Planet review for Catédral Notre Dame
Amiens is deservedly famous for its magnificent Gothic cathedral, the largest in France and a Unesco World Heritage site. Begun in 1220 rather macabrely to house the head of St John the Baptist - enclosed in gold in the northern outer wall of the ambulatory - the soaring Gothic arches and immense vaulted interior are a masterpiece of religious architecture.
