What is a "flèche"?
A flèche is a slender, pointed spire that is often found on the roof of a church or cathedral. This architectural feature typically rises above the main structure and is designed to draw the eye upward, symbolizing a connection between the earth and the heavens. Flèches are often elaborately decorated and can vary in style, adding visual interest to the building's silhouette. They are commonly seen in Gothic architecture, where they enhance the overall design and grandeur of the church.
