Located 2.5 kilometers south of Breteuil-sur-Noye, the ancient site of Vendeuil-Caply covers nearly 130 hectares and includes parts of the neighboring communes. Its most remarkable monument is the large Gallo-Roman theater from the 1st and 2nd centuries, now owned by the Oise Departmental Council. Nearby is the Oise Archaeological Museum, inaugurated in 2011.

#15 - Cathedral and Tourist Office Here the cathedral attracts everyone's attention! Like all visitors, Jules Verne admired the grandeur of this “magnificent example of 13th-century Gothic art,” as he wrote in An Ideal City. He also refers to it in The Secret of Wilhelm Storitz: “The cathedral [...], a 13th century building that mixes Romanesque and Gothic styles. However, this cathedral has beautiful parts that deserve the attention of connoisseurs: its facade framed by two towers, its spire located in the transept, three hundred and fifteen feet high, its central portal with very elaborate arches, its large rose window through which the rays of the setting sun and from which the large nave is largely illuminated, and finally its rounded apse between the numerous buttresses. Notre-Dame Square has changed over the centuries and through numerous events. It does not resemble what Jules Verne knew in the 19th century, with its old houses and a small square in front of the building. After the Second World War, houses reminiscent of the shapes and decorations of the 13th-century houses were built opposite the cathedral, and the square was enlarged. Nowadays the tourist office is also located here. Source: https://www.amiens.fr/Grands-projets/Aronnax/Etapes/etape-15/Cathedrale-et-Office-de-Tourisme-allemand

The cathedral in Amiens was the model for the construction of the Cologne Cathedral.

Amiens Cathedral is a magnificent example of 13th century Gothic architecture from northern France. The cathedrals of Chartres, Reims and Notre-Dame de Paris are also among these marvelous religious buildings which took up to a hundred years to build. The superb tympanum facing the esplanade and representing the Last Judgment is very realistic. He must have impressed a lot in his time.
