St Samson's Cathedral in Gothic style, with a double well fed by the same spring and connected by an underground gallery

Built in the monumental Anglo-Norman Gothic style, this cathedral is one of Brittany's jewels. According to local legend, it is linked to Mount Dol by an underground passageway and pays homage to Saint Samson, a churchman born at the end of the5th century. Inside, treasures await you: carved oak stalls, an episcopal throne, a large eastern stained-glass window, the tomb of Thomas James and a wooden sculpture of Christ aux outrages. Unique in France, the church has a double well fed by the same spring and linked by an underground gallery.

Une très belle cathédrale, dommage que l'extérieur était en travaux lors de ma visite mais sinon pour se balader c'est très jolie.

La cathédrale Saint-Samson vaut le détour pour les amoureux des "vieilles pierres" qui passeraient dans la région !

Superbe cathédrale mélange de style roman et gothique, toute en granite. Elle surprend par son apparence imposante et sa tour de la façade inachevée. Elle mérite le détour pour les visiteurs de la région.

Un incontournable de la ville de Dol de Bretagne.

Une cathédrale très bien conservée, avec de jolies rosaces, qui se situe dans la vieille ville, entourée de ses restaurants et commerces.

A voir de jour mais également au coucher du soleil pour de jolis reliefs.

Une visite de Dol de Bretagne doit commencer par la cathédrale. Majestueuse. Magnifique. Elle se situe dans le quartier ancien de la ville, en centre ville. On peut juste regretter que la ville de Dol ne fasse pas beaucoup d'efforts pour ses touristes. Rien n'est vraiment fait pour vous donner envie de rester.
