French Gothic architecture (Video clip)
French Gothic architecture is a style of architecture prevalent in France from 1140 until about 1500.
The designations of styles in French Gothic architecture are as follows:
- Early Gothic
- High Gothic
- Rayonnant
- Late Gothic or Flamboyant style.
These divisions are effective, but still set grounds for debate. Because the lengthy construction of Gothic cathedrals could span multiple architectural periods, and builders in each period did not always follow wishes of previous periods, dominant architectural style often changes throughout a particular building. Consequently, it is often difficult to declare one building as a member of a certain era of Gothic architecture. It is more useful to use the terms to describe specific elements within a structure, rather than applying them to the building as a whole.
