So we had a whole day free in Bourges before the gig, so we decided to go sight seeing.
The guys have already been to this town, but it was my first time, and they told me 'Ok, the thing you need to see here first is the Mega Church.' And I mean I know it's big from my classes at the Academy, but ... it's really fucking huge!
It's over 120 meters long and 41 meters wide, which makes it the largest in France.

So, this mega church is actually called Cathédrale Saint-Étienne de Bourges or Bourges Cathedral, and all of you who know just a little of Art History know this one!
It was built between 12th and 13th century and it's a masterpiece of Gothic art (although there is some Romanesque style also present).

So, of course we had to goof around a bit, because I really hate taking tourist photos, so Ivan and Mišo were more than happy to help me with that.
