Gothic Cathedrale Notre-Dame de l'Assomption in Clermont-Ferrand (Puy-de-Dome, Auvergne). Most of its current construction of Volvic stone (volcanic rock) dates from the 13th century. It is located on the top of the central hill that forms the old city centre, on Victory Square, near the statue of Pope Urban II, who launched the first crusade during the 1095 Council.

Brittany, Finistere: Calvary of Tronoen, detail - raised from 1450 (between 1450 and 1470), it is one of the largest and oldest calvary in Brittany - the finesse of the details of stone sculpture, such as the long hair of the Virgin or the weft of the cloth is due largely to the use of kersanton (or kersantite), related rock to granite (granite). Mary pregnant, lying on her diaper, is depicted the topless, which is rare in the religious iconography of the period. A Mage King presents a gift. Originally, the monument was painted in bright colours, making the various scenes more readable, similar to today's comic book. Virgin Mary, motherhood, hair, hands.
