Comment

This facade was begun under the episcopate of Eudes de Sully from 1200 by the third architect and continued under his successors, notably Guillaume d'Auvergne, after 1220 by the fourth.
The towers are presented as an imposing mass, simple and harmonious, whose strength and sober grandeur are based on a play of vertical and horizontal lines, the four powerful buttresses that rise to the top of the towers and lift them to the sky. They tell us in a symbolic way that this cathedral church is built for God.
Two wide horizontal bands that seem to draw the building towards our carnal earth. This cathedral-church is also a cathedral for men. Its dimensions are imposing.
