Can anyone identify this cathedral?
 
I am trying to place the location where this photograph was taken. The car is almost certainly a Citroen Light 15. The Catherdal/church has a very distintive roof - top right on the photo. Any help would be much appreciated.

It's not Paris, Saint Denis, Chartres, Amiens, Reims, Albi, Metz or Strasbourg.

I'm sure that helps.

Since you are a first time poster, and pulled this up with your computer, what is the name?

It looks like Sens to me:

I have no idea but it certainly looks like they are having fun.
