Cathédrale Saint-Front, Périgueux (France)
France
Périgueux Cathedral is a Catholic church located in the city of Périgueux (Dordogne) in France. It has been a listed Historic Monument since 1840 and a World Heritage site since 1998. In 1852 the architect Paul Abadie undertook major restoration work to the cathedral to save it from ruin. He brought it back to life, stone by stone, a colossal project lasting some fifty years. Abadie managed to retain the original plan and volumes of the cathedral as well as redesigning certain aspects to harmonise the architecture. He used the same architectural model for Saint-Front as he later used for the Sacré Coeur church of Montmartre in Paris. Saint Front is not a cathedral festooned with gilded frames, frescoes and mosaics; part of its charm is its sombre quality. Nevertheless, there are some real gems to be found here, the magnificent central chandelier or the monumental altarpiece of the Jesuit College, intricately carved in wood.

More About France

France is affectionately referred to as "the Hexagon" for its overall shape.French history goes back to the Gauls, a Celtic tribe which inhabited the area circa 300BC until being conquered by Julius Caesar.The Franks were the first tribe to adopt Catholic Christianity after the Roman Empire collapsed. France became an independent location in the Treaty of Verdun in (843 AD), which divided up Charlemagne's Carolingian Empire into several portions.The French monarchy reached its zenith during the reign of Louis XIV, the Sun King, who stood for seventy-two years as the Monarch of all Monarchs. His palace of Versailles and its Hall of Mirrors are a splendid treasure-trove of Baroque art.The French Revolution ended the rule of the monarchy with the motto "Liberty, Equality, Fraternity!" On July 14th, 1789 angry mobs stormed La Bastille prison and began the Revolution in which Louis XVI, his wife Marie-Antoinette and thousands of others met the guillotine.One decade after the revolution, Napolean Bonaparte seized control of the Republic and named himself Emperor. His armies conquered most of Europe and his Napoleonic Code became a lasting legal foundation for concepts of personal status and property.During the period of colonization France controlled the largest empire in the world, second only to Britain.France is one of the founding members of the European Union and the United Nations, as well as one of the nuclear armed nations of the world.Text by Steve Smith.
