Fw: St. André Cathedral, Bordeaux

Here is a picture I found online of what must be the back of St. André Cathedral in Bordeaux.  The part Tish and Harry and I saw looked nothing like this, must have been the front.  They compare it to Notre Dame in Paris in structure.   It says Eleanor of Aquitaine was married here in 1137 when she was 15, to Louis VII, before she became queen of France.  One of her sons was Richard the Lion-Hearted.  She had ten children, with her two husbands.
