Cathedral of St. Peter and St. Paul, 114 m long, 50 m wide and a vault of 28.50 m high, known for its 182 stained glass windows

This building is among the largest in France: 114 m long, 50 m wide for the transept, and a vault that rises to 28.50 m high. Around 1198, the bishops Garnier de Traînel, then Hervée, decided to erect here one of the most beautiful cathedrals in France. They wanted it to be a masterpiece: all the styles of gothic art are represented there. The cathedral is also famous for its 182 stained glass windows. This cathedral inspired the one in Strasbourg.

Belles dimensions, bel exemple de gothique au sommet de son art, mais rien d'exceptionnel au point de vue du contenu. Les vitraux sont néanmoins magnifiques .

Superbe cathédrale, particulièrement admirable pour ses vitraux. La salle du trésor, en accès libre, est intéressante.

Magnifique monument à visiter. Les vitraux donnent beaucoup de lumière, de clarté dans la cathédrale. Endroit calme dès l'entrée. Je ne regrette pas mon arrêt à Troyes.

Très bel édifice restauré. Vitraux magnifiques. La curiosité réside dans l'une des deux tours qui n'a jamais été finalisée faute de financement.
