Sancerre, France

The city of Bourges is a 40 minute drive from Sancerre. Loved the architecture:

 

 

And the gothic La Cathédrale de Saint Étienne was very impressive. Here it towers over a neighborhood street:

 

The western facade is fabulous:

 

Above the main portal the Last Judgement is portrayed; the righteous are ushered into heaven while the unrighteousness are grabbed by demons and sent to hell:

 

 

Wedding pictures were being taken on the front steps:

 



While wandering around Bourges, a parade went by. They were celebrating an anniversary having to do with Napoleon:
