Beauvais and its green bike

I'm surprised by the quality of the V16a's finish. Kudos to those who maintain it and thanks to those who ride it.

The statue of Jeanne Hachet impresses with its realistic depiction of the fighting woman! 😄

The pretty fountain brings wonderful cooling to the busy square on hot days! ⛲️

Leaving Beauvais to the northwest, the street and then the cycle path of the Saint-Quentin marsh, you quickly arrive at the superb body of water of Canada. It offers three kilometers of banks and a call for swimming in summer.

The Saint Pierre Cathedral has a remarkable astronomical clock (1865-1868) by Auguste-Lucien Vérité, who, before becoming a clockmaker, had already become known as an expert in organ building.

The Cathedral of Beauvais is one of the most important Gothic churches in France 🇫🇷!

It is always nice to meet old friends again, especially when it happens unexpectedly. When you enter the wonderful but only half-finished cathedral of Beauvais, you are greeted by the famous image of St. Peter from St. Peter's Basilica. This fits with the building's claim: the highest Gothic vault, the highest church tower, the largest church in France. However, it is a Gothic Babel: the vault and tower collapsed, and that was the end of money and Gothic architecture. The cathedral is a huge torso, the nave of which is a comparatively tiny Romanesque building that stands lost in front of the huge, centuries-old temporary dividing wall that the nave was supposed to replace.
