Several weeks ago I wrote a post on Gothic architecture entitled “Let there be (more)
light.” At the time I had intended to follow that with more on the same subject, but those last sunny days of summer threw me off track. Now
that autumn is finally here, I think it's time to go back to that subject and talk more about the
evolution and development of 'the French architectural style'.
