Beauvais

Beauvais straddles the Thérain River in Hauts-de-France, and the waterway has helped shape its compact historic centre. The city is defined by the unfinished Cathedral of Saint-Pierre, whose Gothic choir has the highest vault of any Gothic cathedral. Nearby, the church of Saint-Étienne combines Romanesque and Gothic architecture, while the former episcopal palace houses the MUDO – Musée de l’Oise. Beauvais is also closely associated with tapestry: the Beauvais manufactory, founded in 1664, continues to create woven works for public and private commissions.
