The Secrets of the Cathedrals. History, Rites, Religious Practices
Gothic cathedrals, as mysterious as the pyramids of Egypt or the statues of Easter Island, keep in the heart of their majestic halls centuries-old secrets that modern man has not yet managed to decipher. The cathedrals are there - before our eyes, in our dear old Europe, in places frequented daily by tens of thousands of visitors - to tell us about our past. How were they built? Why does their architectural layout remind us of the symbolic and esoteric medieval universe? What is the secret of the meridian lines?

This exciting guide, which is both an introduction to European history and a study of medieval religion and esotericism, will also allow us to visit the most beautiful cathedrals of Europe at our own pace.
