Recommendations for travel Beauvais

Beauvais is a gray city, offset by the presence of its gothic cathedral, St Pierre's Cathedral, which is towering above the city. It is a building that, perhaps more than other similar buildings in France, demonstrates the religious materialism of the Middle Ages. The choir, whose construction was completed in 1272, was much higher by 5 meters than the cathedral in Amiens, but only for a short time, collapsing in 1284. Its replacement was made 300 years later, with funds obtained from the famous "indulgent", a right received by the local bishop from Pope Leo X.
Marcel Dassault Park: it is a wonderful, quiet and comfortable place to relax in the fresh air. You can sit on a bench in the shade of trees with your favorite book, or feed a few animals and birds. And for lovers of outdoor activities there is a cycling track for rollers and cycling. There are also playgrounds for children. Lots of greenery and flowers.
Musee départemental de l 'Oise is a museum in the palace of the former bishop of Beauvais, Oise, in the north of France. It is classified as a historical monument.
Parish Church of Our Lady: The Church of Our Lady is one of the few buildings built during the Carolingian Renaissance, which has survived in a satisfactory state. For its construction were used stones from the walls of the fortress that surrounded the city in ancient times.
Chateau Trusreux is also located on the outskirts of Beauvais. This is a private property that is inherited in the family. Tourists are invited to view: a beautiful area with medieval-style lawns, a pond with wild ducks, an exterior inspection of the castle and old buildings, the clock tower, several non-residential rooms with a 15th-century interior. And also for those who want, a fascinating story of family history, which has several eras.
