🏰 Poitiers Cathedral: A Masterpiece of Angevin Gothic Architecture

✨ "A must-see for every architecture lover—where light, space, and medieval genius collide!" 🌍 Architectural Marvels Twin-Tower Facade �🏛️ Unlike traditional cathedrals, its two towers flank the nave, creating a striking wide, horizontal silhouette. Hall-Church Design ✨ Aisles soar to 24m, nearly matching the 30m-high nave—a bold, unified space! No triforium or clerestory—light floods in only through aisle windows, creating an ethereal glow. Angevin Gothic Vaulting 🔥 The ribbed vault curves upward like Le Mans Cathedral, but with an extra central rib, forming an 8-part vault—a signature of Angevin Gothic style. 📸 Why Visit? ✔ A rare example of hall-church grandeur ✔ Dramatic play of light and shadow ✔ Less crowded than Parisian cathedrals—perfect for quiet awe. "Where stone seems to float, and history whispers from every arch." #ArchitectureLovers #GothicMasterpiece #Poitiers #FranceTravel #HiddenGems #MedievalWonders ✨📷
