Cathedral seen from Belfrey, c. 2000

We are standing atop the Befroi, the tower that represented the authority of the commune of Amiens.
Below us is the area most devastated in World War II: the blue-slate roofs belong to structures built immediately after the War.
The cathedral survived intact, as did the bishop's palace--the 18th-century structure to the north (left) of the cathedral.
