What to expect

The Église Saint-Maclou is a Roman Catholic church in Rouen, France, named after Saint Malo. It is considered one of the best examples of the Flamboyant style of Gothic architecture in France. The church has a basilica style with four radiating chapels around an octagonal choir and a large transept with piers that support the above lantern tower. The decoration of the church is macabre, and it features a famous western facade with five gabled porches and flying buttresses. The church also has a Gothic staircase, stained-glass windows, and carvings and sculptural work. The interior appeals to the idea of maximizing light through the grand arched windows
