The most beautiful churches cathedrals basilicas and chapels Dreux

The church Saint Peter founded between the xiiith and the xvith century traces the history of Dreux with its numerous Reconstructions. Indeed, built at the beginning of the th century, it was then renovated at the fifteenth century after the damage caused by several invasions of the city. In the sixteenth century, a North tower was added to this church, with the South tower still mysteriously unfinished. The ultimate addition dates from the xviith with the construction of the southern arm of the transept. Its architecture recalls the flamboyant Gothic style, in the image of the cathedral of Chartres. If you have the opportunity to return to this sumptuous church you can admire the th and th century windows. And by getting closer to the choir, you will have the surprise of finding yourself faced with a gigantic organ that leaves its most beautiful notes at office time. But don't stop there. Go back and admire above the portal the th century flower. You can then continue your visit through the transepts, the nave, in front of the chapels, or in front of the crucifix. This building has been classified as Historical Monuments since 1840.

The church Saint Michel is located on the south plateau of Dreux. Thanks to its huge wooden cross overlooking the area you will not be able to miss it. But if you are looking for flying arches, brisés, escutcheons, or even large windows, you will not find your happiness in this church. Indeed, far from the architectural style of the church of Saint Peter in the city centre, the church Saint Michel is in a model of sobriety and above all modernity. This church was built in the 1960 s and has a green area and a tar area for car parking.
