Its construction is contemporary with that of the cathedrals of Chartres, Reims, Bourges and Amiens ...
It has the highest Gothic choir in the world [1] (48.50 m) under vaulted ceilings. From 1569 to 1573 Beauvais Cathedral was, with its 153-meter tower, the tallest human construction in the world. Its designers had the ambition to make it the largest Gothic cathedral in France ahead of that of Amiens. Victim of two collapses, one in the thirteenth century, the other in the sixteenth century, it remains unfinished today, only the choir and the transept have been built.

You have to enter the cathedral, an architectural marvel, stop in front of the Astronomical Clock and admire the highest Gothic heart in the world, 48.50 m under the vault.
