Middles Ages when people made pilgrimages to the shrine at Compostela in Spain. Rather than trying to tell the interesting story of Compostela I will offer this link you can go to at your leisure.

Below I have added a number of pictures from various French churches. Some important, some not, but they all have incredible beauty and craftsmanship.
15th C. Grosse Cloche in Bordeaux
St. Michel a pilgrimage church over 1000 yrs old- Bordeaux
Lourdes
St Catherine in Albi 13th C.
Tomb of St. Catherine
Small church in the Pyrenees with typical style spire for region
The art and stained glass was amazing in even the smallest churches.
