Cathédrale St-Pierre-St-Paul

Cathédrale St-Pierre-St-Paul Review

One of France's last Gothic cathedrals, this was begun in 1434, well after most other medieval cathedrals had been completed. The facade is ponderous and austere, in contrast to the light, wide, limestone interior, whose vaults rise higher (120 feet) than those of Notre-Dame in Paris.
