Amiens Cathedral Nave

The tallest finished Gothic cathedral in France. The nave climbs forty-two metres above the floor, and the light comes down from the clerestory in long pale columns. Robert de Luzarches drew the plan in 1220; the nave was largely up in sixteen years, fast for the thirteenth century. The labyrinth set into the floor still traces the path pilgrims walked on their knees. People walk in, look up, and stop talking.
