At one point, a succession of arches unfolded before us like the vaults of a Gothic cathedral. The artists of the Middle Ages could have learned here all they needed to know about this form of religious architecture, which was based on the pointed arch. A mile farther, we bowed our heads beneath low arches in the Romanesque style, and large pillars connected to the walls bowing under the load of the vaults.
So technically (architecturally) this is a Gothic novel
