The Saint-Pierre cathedral in Angoulême has a facade with different detailed carved plaques that follow each other in 4 rows

A beautiful Romanesque edifice, this cathedral, built on the rocky outcrop of Angoulême, is a must-see landmark, like a lighthouse watching over the town. Its façade is a masterpiece of Romanesque art, and you can spend hours detailing the various sculpted plaques that follow one another in 4 rows, the highest of which is occupied by an imposing Christ in glory surrounded by the horsemen of the Apocalypse. Inside, don't miss a visit to the cathedral's treasury, staged by Jean-Michel Othoniel and featuring some 150 liturgical objects.

Magnifique joyau de l'architecture Romane, bien restaurée par P. Abadie et très bien conservé. Bonne cohérence entre ancien et contemporain (le lustre représentant la Jérusalem Céleste se fond vraiment dans la nef).
Le Trésor vaut le détour et la visite guidée permet de mieux comprendre l'histoire de cet édifice

Malgré des travaux de restauration dévastateurs à la fin du 19e, cette cathédrale romane reste l une des plus belles de France. Sa façade est remarquable.
L' intérieur, très vaste pour une église romane est bâti sur une file de coupoles.
A voir absolument

magnificent façade despite the lack of retreat to take pictures; email you should to contemplate the masterpieces that are the romanesque sculptures details in their details, without forgetting the side gates and enjoying the harmony of the interior architecture and domes
