Cathedral of Notre-Dame, Bayeux (Calvados)

The rebuilding of Bayeux Cathedral began with the choir about 1230-1245, whose rich architectural decoration stands in marked contrast to that of the choir of Coutance Cathedral which was constructed about the same time based on the same model (the extension of the choir at Saint-Étienne in Caen).

The photo shows the exterior of the choir.
