RE: The History and Architecture of Reims Cathedral

in Worldmappin3 years ago

Haha yeah there are so many of them. We don't even go into all of them anymore so I've actually missed out on a few good ones, like Strasbourg for instance. Rouen and Reims were good. There are some very unique ones we have seen though that are not Notre Dames. They have a different architectural style entirely and seem to be more scarce/unique - Sacre Cœur is an obvious one and the church in Lyon (not sure the name).

Sort:  

The "castley" looking one in Lyon is also called Nôtre Dame (de something or other) and I'm assuming that's the one you mean. The actual cathedral of Lyon by the river is called St. Jean. I must admit, I also haven't been in either. It gets repetitive after a while.

The one in Lyon I'm referring to is Cathédrale Saint-Jean-Baptiste de Lyon. It's way up on the hill overlooking the city and is quite different than most churches. My photos of it aren't great but it really stands out for me in memory.

Nope, that's Nôtre Dame. St. Jean Baptiste is the one just below that, right by the river. St. Jean is also called Lyon Cathedral. Wouldn't stake my life on it but confidence is high. Not high enough to google, though 😃

Yep you're right. I just googled it hahaha
The site I originally looked at was incorrect apparently. Thanks for pointing that out. 👍
