Today's entry will take some time to do. We rode the SNCF to Amiens, an hour north-east of Paris. Amiens is home to the largest cathedral in France. 2 Notre Dame's in Paris fit inside this one.It's so large and other buildings are so close that you can't get a really good picture of the whole building. Let me tell you I tried! This is from a block and a half away. Much renovation has been going on and the front is spectacularly white. The parts that haven't been done are quite dirty and dingy. But none the less striking.
