amiens

Just don't be afraid by the sight of the tour Perret when exiting the station at Amiens ^^.

Marrons glacés (disgusting), calissons (yuck), and macarons d'amiens (not even macarons!) can light themselves on fire.

For example, an iron chain was tightened around Amiens cathedral [2][3] to fix structural defects which resulted from a mistake made during construction.

You won't be able to just step onto the train Amsterdam to Paris, but you can step on the train to Antwerp, from there to Lille, Lille to Amiens, Amiens to Paris.

I walked the labyrinth in Amiens Cathedral and I thought it mirrored the experience of the Christian life pretty well.

That was the theory; in practice, the very limited communication (hard to handle fast-evolving situations when couriers from Rome to Amiens take a few weeks at best) & enforcement means (you have 100 guys with spears?

In context France this was after the Treaty of Amiens when the UK returned colonies seized from France during the French Revolution and in which slavery had therefore never been abolished.

This is what makes Christendom at once so much more perplexing and so much more interesting than the Pagan empire; just as Amiens Cathedral is not better but more interesting than the Parthenon.

Richthofen was buried in the cemetery at the village of Bertangles, near Amiens, on 22 April 1918.

Its designers had the ambition to make it the largest gothic cathedral in France ahead of Amiens.

Notre Dame is one of the first examples, and was built quickly enough to have a consistent architecture (also Chartres and Amiens).
