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.

Très belle cathédrale avec beaucoup de sculpture et de détails, qui donne également un très beau son et lumières durant l'été. Incontournable lors d'un passage à Tours.

Lieu incontournable à visiter à Tours. Le magnifique buffet d'orgues sous la rosace vaut le détour à lui tout seul. Les vitraux en triptyques sont de toute beauté. On ne peut qu'être ressourcé dans ce lieu majestueux.

Superbe ! Aussi belle à l'extérieur qu'à l'intérieur. Une égalise majestueuse, un cœur bien mis en valeur, des sculptures d'une grande finesse et des vitraux majestueux. Incontournable

Majestueux monument gothique au cœur de la ville. Le travail de sculpture sur les façades est magnifique. C'est un lieu incontournable à visiter à Tours.

Cathédrale gothique remarquable. Le chœur a été rénové et les vitraux ont été largement mis en valeur avec de grands panneaux explicatifs.
Jusqu'au mois d'octobre un spectacle de lumières a lieu sur le parvis mettant remarquablement en valeur la façade. J'ai entendu dire que ce spectacle serait renouvelé l'an prochain... à voir absolument ! (d'autant qu'il est gratuit !)
