J & I had were able to see this beautiful cathedral in Metz, France this weekend. Admittedly, sometimes I grow a little tired of all the cathedrals, UNTIL I see another one and then am in awe all over again.
The cathedral in Metz is one of my favorites that we have seen. The stained glass was stunning and there was so much of it! My favorites were the ones created by Jacques Villon in 1957.
The cathedral is sometimes called la lanterne du Bon Dieu, or the Good Lord's lantern, because it possesses the largest expanses of stained glass in the world.
The cathedral also has the 10th highest nave in the world.
