Hi Riana
Many thanks for this. I didn’t know about it. It’s La cathédrale Sainte-Marie in Bayonne. It’s on the pilgrimage route to Santiago so is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It looks magnificent, and is compared to Chartres. I will update my article and add it. Once again, many thanks!

I cant find it on Google. Can you possibly help? Thank you, Riana

Oops! Many thanks; yes I did mean 155 feet. I have corrected the article.

You wrote, for Beauvais Cathedral, “The interior vaults are over 155 metres high”. You really meant 155 feet high, right?
Thanks for a great resource.
