Cathedral of Saint-Gatien in Tours, with a choir with a beautiful example of French stained glass art, and towers of 69 and 70 m

You can see it as soon as you arrive in Tours, with its two towers which culminate at 69 and 70 meters: the cathedral is a must! A masterpiece combining Gothic and Renaissance architecture, this building is the fourth religious place built on the site. Joan of Arc and several kings of France as well as the pilgrims of Compostela stopped here. It has 800m² (8,000 sq ft) of high windows, and its choir is a fine example of 12th century French stained-glass art. The transept and sunset roses, dedicated to Saint Martin, were made between 2010 and 2013.

un charme fou
Incontournable de votre cheminement piétonnier de visite de Tours cette cathédrale que vous ne pouvez manquer de voir tellement elles est haute et majestueuse (c'est un repère visuel), trônant sur une belle place avec quelques belles façades de maisons alentour. Sinon son intérieur est gigantesque, haute de plafond avec un choeur très long et de nombreuses petites chapelles en son pourtour, ravissant autel, ne manquer pas de vous retourner pour admirer les orgues de cette cathédrale.

superbe vitraux
Cette cathédrale est très agréable à visiter, très belle architecture et surtout, une grande quantité de vitraux très colorés, et d'ailleurs un projet pour en ajouter des modernes, et aussi de superbes orgues, qui sont justement surmonté par un des vitraux ronds .
