Why look further takes you to Picardy to discover the unfinished cathedral of Beauvais in the Oise. Saint-Pierre Cathedral had the ambition to become the largest and most audacious cathedral in all of Christendom... The film focuses on discovering the Cathedral and its immediate surroundings. Its (eventful) history, of course, but also its secrets, its wounds, the discoveries revealed, its particularities and the treasures it contains: the astronomical clock, the organ, and of course this Gothic choir, the highest in the world. And above all, the film introduces us to those who take care of this exceptional monument. They are architects, archaeologists, historians or simply enthusiasts. They have studied, excavated, admired this masterpiece of Gothic art, they take care of it or bring it to life on a daily basis. Two main speakers accompany us on this adventure. - Marie Ansar, heritage facilitator in Beauvais. She loves her city and its jewel, the cathedral. She knows how to convey her love for her city. - Jean-Lucien Guenoun, the curator of the Cathedral. Passionate about the monument, he comes regularly to check it, to examine it. He is the only one, with the craftsmen he summons to repair and maintain it, to have access to the summits of the Gothic building. *********************************************************** See more issues of Pourquoi Chercher Plus Loin: ▶ http://bit.ly/pourquoi-chercher-plus-... ************************************************************* Subscribe to our Youtube channel: ▶ / france3nord Find us on our website: ▶ http://hdf.france3.fr/ On Facebook: ▶ / france3nordpasdecalais ▶ / france3picardie On Twitter: ▶ / f3nord ▶ / f3picardie
