In the Gothic cathedral in Soissons, dedicated to Saint Gervais and Saint Protais. The building-work was started in 1177 and finished in 1479. It was severely damaged in the first world war, but later restored - a task that was completed in 1937.

Inside the The abbey of Our Lady in Lonlay (or Lonlay-l'Abbaye).
This abbey, at first situated outside the town of Lonlay (now the place has grown) was founded by William of Bellême (Guillaume Ier de Bellême), with the original charter signed around 1020. It was a Benedictine abbey, built in Romanesque style. It had several priories, including Notre Dame sur l'eau in Domfront (which can be seen here: www.flickr.com/photos/dameboudicca/20515002803 ). The whole place saw substantial renovations and rebuilding in the 12th and 14th century and the church is now in the Gothic style. But it also saw two fires in the 16th century - the first started by accident in 1533 (which destroyed much of the abbey archives) and the second by Huguenots in 1574 during the War of Religions. The Benedictine order left after this and the place was never fully rebuilt. The church was also damaged by bombs in 1944 and the liberation of France. A full restoration (including archaeological studies) began in 1965 and in 1973 the church was once again open for parish use.

Is it just me, or isn't that last vault, the one just up against the opposite wall, a bit strange? Like someone got the measurements wrong?
