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.

This cathedral is divine surprises once you enter. It bathes in an incredible light, even when the sky is outside black as was the case this Sunday.
The succession of more sparkling stained-glass windows than the others is impressive. The size of the building, the length of the nave make this cathedral is one of the most beautiful in France
