Saint-Pierre Cathedral in Lisieux, a jewel of Norman Gothic art. You can discover, among other things, the chapel of the Virgin.

This cathedral, jewel of the Norman Gothic art, is undoubtedly the first jewel of the religious heritage of Lexovia, before the basilica. It is the successor to a Romanesque cathedral, which burned down in 1126. Its construction began around 1170 under the aegis of Bishop Arnoult, friend of King Louis VI and adviser to the Duke of Normandy, and was completed in 1182. It is composed in large part of soft and friable limestone from the Touques valley. One can discover, among other things, the chapel of the Virgin, in which the little Therese had the revelation of her mission in 1887.

Cathédrale parmi tant d'autres... Rien d'extraordinaire à y voir selon moi.

Un lieu méconnu mais intéressant !
La cathédrale de Lisieux, moins connu que la Basilique, est néanmoins un lieu très intéressant et inspirant. C est l’un des plus anciens monuments gothiques de Normandie. La cathédrale abrite également le tombeau de l’évêque Pierre CAUCHON, qui condamna Jeanne d'Arc au buchet...
Le lieu est par ailleurs particulièrement calme et reposant.

Lisieux regorge de magnifiques monuments liés à Sainte Thérèse, celui ci en fait partie. Moins décoré que la basilique mais tout aussi authentique c'est un lieu à visiter
