Light show inside the dome of Amiens Cathedral in France, so beautiful it makes you cry!

Amiens Cathedral is the largest church in France (even bigger than Notre-Dame de Paris), a Gothic church, and was listed as a world cultural heritage site by UNESCO in 1981. Amiens is a relatively unpopular city in France with few tourists and very quiet. Due to the cancellation of our flight back to Brussels due to strikes, we changed to Beauvais Airport in northern Paris, which is more than 100 kilometers away. Because we didn't want to take a detour and didn't want to buy expensive train tickets to Paris (which are particularly expensive if purchased before departure), we chose to take the 601 bus from the airport (which can be searched on SNCF but not on Google Maps). Go to Amiens, then from Amiens to Lille, Kortrik, and finally back to Gent. Passing through Amiens, we had an hour's layover, so we visited the largest cathedral in France (we didn't even know about the city of Amiens before). The towering Gothic spires are visible from afar, even before reaching the cathedral. From afar, it can be seen that due to the bad weather, the appearance did not achieve the desired effect in the photos, but the moment we pushed open the door of the church, we were all stunned. Blue and pink lights shone on the dome of the church one after another, as if entering a dark fairy tale world.
