Saint-Flour's Cathedral Saint-Pierre has undergone several alterations and boasts a wealth of liturgical furnishings.

The diocese of Saint-Flour was created in 1317. The cathedral dates from the 15th century and is a major example of Gothic art in the Cantal region. Its two large grey stone towers sometimes resemble a fortress at the tip of the town's promontory. The building has been altered several times, notably after the French Revolution, when it was badly damaged. Visitors will discover a wealth of furnishings, including the Black Christ, a masterpiece of Romanesque art. The liturgical furnishings, replaced in 2014, are by the goldsmith Goudji.

Cathédrale noire, construite en pierre de lave et remaniée, elle est intéressante et intrigante. A remarquer à l'intérieur la fresque du jugement dernier, le christ noir, le déambulatoire. Sur la façade, les marques des tâcherons sur les pierres. A visiter plutôt avec un guide de l'office de tourisme, pour comprendre cet édifice d'importance.
A noter également le point de vue en allant sur la droite puis à gauche en sortant de la cathédrale.

Depuis le parking pour CAMPING CAR en bas de la ville, vous accédez a la ville Haute par le chemin des chèvres (nombreuses marches) a la ville haute .
La cathédrale de Saint-Flour et l'ensemble de la ville haute sont un véritable joyau du patrimoine auvergnat !
a votre arrivée vous avez une vue panoramique sur toute la vallée superbe.
Le lieu mérite vraiment le détour ! Jean Paul
I recommend this visit. This volcanic stone cathedral (Lava) has something that should not be lived. You are struck by the first steps inside. Moreover freshness of the place can be appreciated during summer visit. The square also the place d'armes is worth the detour.
Magnificent Gothic cathedral. Note Christ black. Equipment park on the adjacent square. I recommend a visit to the cathedral with a guide lecturer, ask for information at the Tourist Office.
