Saint-Pierre Cathedral in Vannes, with a wide variety of styles and transformations from the to the century.

It took the offerings of pilgrims from all over Europe to gather on the tomb of Saint Vincent Ferrier - a Spanish Dominican priest whose statue welcomes visitors at the gates of the cathedral, asked in 1418 by Duke John V of Brittany to revive the Breton faith - and the indulgences of four popes to allow the construction of the building. Originally built on the site of its Romanesque counterpart, it offers a great diversity of styles (Romanesque, neo-Gothic, Renaissance), the result of its numerous transformations from the 15th to the 19th century.

Une jolie cathédrale
La cathédrale St Pierre se situe dans le centre ville. Les quelques panneaux explicatifs sont intéressants, et la cathédrale, bien que petite, reste toutefois assez imposante !

Bien située dans la vieille ville mais pas très imposante pour une cathédrale

En été, lorsque le tourisme bat son plein, il est agréable de se réfugier dans cette cathédrale pour y écouter les quelques chanteurs qui s'y installent parfois. Sobre et reposant.

Très bel édifice religieux situé face au musée La Cohue et classé d'ailleurs basilique puisqu'abritant le tombeau de St Vincent Ferrier.
Mélange de différents styles et surtout pas de place devant ou de parvis.

Très jolie cathédrale en plein centre de la vieille ville au milieu des maisons à Colombage. Les boiseries rouges sont superbes, la grandeur des voutes est assez impressionnante, il y a aussi des explications sur l'histoire du catholicisme très intéressant.
