Cathédrale Saint-Siffrein in Carpentras, home to a collection of statues by the genius of Comtadin sculptor Jacques Bernus.

This handsome edifice takes its name from the city's patron saint, a 7th-century bishop. Built in the 16th century, the cathedral is full of contrasts. The newly-renovated exterior features simple lines and pale stonework, while inside, rich Baroque decorations can be glimpsed in the half-light of the chapels, including paintings by Mignard, Parrocel and Duplessis, a primitive by the Avignon school, and a collection of gilded statues by sculptor Jacques Bernus.

Très belle cathédrale

Un beau monument en restauration actuellement. Vous conseille de voir la façade Nord situé derrière le Palais de Justice. Vous vous rendrez compte que l'édifice à été énormément modifié depuis sa construction.

Een beetje vergane glorie. Blijft indrukwekkend

The cathedral was built on top of two previous churches. Construction of the present cathedral took over a century (1405-1531).
