Entre amis

1, 2, 3... 307! That's the number of steps you'll have to climb to get to the top of the north tower of Amiens cathedral. Once there, you can enjoy a superb view of the town. Before reaching the top, be sure to stop and admire the imposing rose window. It looked so small from down on the ground! A few more steps and you're 112m up. There's a guide to give details on the panoramic view below you. If you suffer from vertigo ... don't lean out too far :-)

En amoureux
