Small Towns
Beauvais is a city in the northern French region of Picardy. The city's cathedral, dedicated to Saint Peter (Cathedrale Saint-Pierre de Beauvais), in some respects the most daring achievement of Gothic architecture, consists only of a transept and quire with apse and seven apse-chapels. The episcopal palace, now housing the Musee departemental de l'Oise, was built in the 16th century, partly upon the Gallo-Roman fortifications. The church of Saint-Etienne is a Romanesque-Gothic building (early 12th-late 16th centuries), including, in one of its transept's portals, a sculpture of "Wheel of Life".
