Rouen Cathedral

This is the magnificent entrance to the Cathedrale Notre Dame de Rouen. Richard the Lionheart is buried here...well at least his HEART is buried here. The rest of him is scattered around France. For instance, his bowels are buried in Limousin at the foot of the tower from which the crossbow was fired that killed him. The town of Rouen (located in northern France) is where St. Joan of Arc was burned at the stake. From 1876-1880, the cathedral was the talest building in the world.
