We stopped on the way from Amiens to Lille at the pretty and lively little town of Doullens. The
aire de camping-
cars there only has four places, but it is clean and quiet and close to everything. On one of my customary reconnaissance walks, I noticed the abandoned church of St. Pierre. If you're looking for an authentic 13th century Gothic fixer-upper church that it is really in relatively good shape, considering, this may be for you.

St. Pierre's parish church, apparently deconsecrated |
 |
But not forgotten, at least by the monuments commission |
 |
The roof appears largely intact, at least over the main arcade |
 |
Building a porch and entrance may be something of a challenge; plus there are hundreds of pigeons to relocate...but hey, how many people do you know who have renovated a 13th century Gothic? PS: the sign said 13th century, but it struck me as rather more Romanesque...no pointy things in any of the windows or portals... |

A real fixer-upper.
