Our second church was Cathedrale Saint-Pierre in Beauvais. This church was the climax of French upwardly aspiring Gothic architecture. The tallest structure of the entire tour, it had the highest vault in medieval Europe. Even today when we are accustomed to seeing skyscrapers, it calls for a “wow” when you go inside. The structure was also interesting because the nave was never completed, allowing us some insight as to how medieval worshipers were able to conduct services when only an east end and transepts were completed.
