Comment

It is France's largest cathedral in terms of interior volume (200,000 m3). Its overall length is 145 metres and its height under vault is 42.30 metres3. Only the Cathédrale Saint-Pierre de Beauvais surpasses it in height, with a vaulted ceiling of 48 meters.
It was built at the same time as the cathedrals of Reims, Bourges and Beauvais. The nave is considered the archetype of the Classical Gothic style, while the choir is in the Radiant Gothic style. The flamboyant Gothic style is present in the rose windows on the west façade and transept, the upper parts of the north tower, the Beau Pilier, the stalls and the statuary on the choir enclosure. https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cath%C3%A9drale_Notre-Dame_d'Amiens
