Church in Rouen with a magnificent example of Gothic architecture and an organ used in a concert today

The abbey church was built between the 14th and 16th centuries. Its proportions are imposing, to say the least: 137 m long and 26 m wide. The fifth church to be built on the same site, it was the work of Abbé Jean Roussel, who began construction in 1318, a project that would last three centuries! It's a magnificent example of Gothic architecture, but its masterpiece is inside: the organ built by the great Cavaillé-Coll in 1890 is still in use today, notably for concerts. Restoration work is scheduled for completion in 2024.
