Cathedrals Under the Scanner’s Eye

Thanks to 3D digitization, French cathedrals are now revealing information invisible to the naked eye. From Amiens to Notre-Dame de Paris, these technologies are reshaping our understanding of heritage and uncovering an architecture that is more fragile, more dynamic—and more human—than previously imagined.
