Sens

Also known as Agedincum

Sens is a town on the Yonne in Burgundy, France, known in Roman times as Agedincum, the chief town of the Senones. In the Middle Ages its archbishops were among the most powerful in France, and its cathedral, begun in the 1130s, is one of the earliest Gothic cathedrals.
