Saint-Pierre Cathedral in Vannes, with a wide variety of styles and transformations from the to the century.

It took the offerings of pilgrims from all over Europe to gather on the tomb of Saint Vincent Ferrier - a Spanish Dominican priest whose statue welcomes visitors at the gates of the cathedral, asked in 1418 by Duke John V of Brittany to revive the Breton faith - and the indulgences of four popes to allow the construction of the building. Originally built on the site of its Romanesque counterpart, it offers a great diversity of styles (Romanesque, neo-Gothic, Renaissance), the result of its numerous transformations from the 15th to the 19th century.

Très jolie cathédrale en plein centre de la vieille ville au milieu des maisons à Colombage. Les boiseries rouges sont superbes, la grandeur des voutes est assez impressionnante, il y a aussi des explications sur l'histoire du catholicisme très intéressant.

La cathédrale Saint Pierre est située dans la vieille ville de Vannes, elle culmine en termes de hauteurs. A l'intérieur, on y trouve le tombeau de Saint Vincent Ferrier, un trésor et de belles boiseries.
