COLLEGIALE SAINT VULFRAN Concerts

Wonderful Gothic front to what remains of this once fine church. Wasn't open when we visited (not sure if it ever is). It felt somewhat forlorn crammed between modern buildings and a busy road. But what remains has a rugged grandeur that's worth seeing.

A nice place to drive-through. Take any parking slot across from and make a break to visit the church.

I like a bit of religious architecture but this isn't the best by a long shot. Interior not especially decorated, stained glass is abstract and unremarkable, and the exterior needs some love. Understandably subject to considerable war damage, but there's better examples and much prettier churches in other towns nearby - not worth the visit if you're just there for a look at the building (and Abbeville itself isn't much cop either).

Due to war damage by bombardment in 1940, the interior and stained glass windows aren't overwhelming. The exterior still has a remarkable amount of details, statues etc. which you can marvel at for quite some time.

Very special& holy place
