Amiens Cathedral, south flank

The land rises to the south of Amiens.
The cathedral appears at the end of a street of 19th-century houses.
We see the upper choir with its jagged silhouette and openwork flying buttresses.
The south transept rose is a replacement unit: it was rebuilt c. 1500 by Master Pierre Tarisel.

The 18th-century longitudinal section offers many details of features of the cathedral that were swept away in renovations of the later 18th and 19th centuries
