"Built between 1170 and 1547, the Cathédrale St-Gatien is a must-see when visiting Tours. Listed as a historic monument in 1862, it features an exquisitely detailed facade, a 16th-century organ, and the beautifully sculpted tomb of Charles VIII and Anne of Brittany’s children. The cathedral’s pièce de résistance, however, is its 8,600-foot-high choir area, which features 15 Gothic-style, stained glass windows, with explanations in English."

This place was very special and of course worth visiting when in Tours. I learned from my friend (local and history enthusiastic) that the walking nave around the altarpiece was usual in cathedrals across pilgrimage routes. In that way the pilgrims visiting wouldn't disturb the priest or service as much.

A beautiful Cathedral in Tours and well worth a visit. Tours is a lovely town and easy to walk around. Would pay to leave the car at a parking lot by the river and walk in.

Cathedral is UNREAL. Feels like it was directly taken out of a movie or smth. I can't describe the atmosphere there. It's so relaxing, and it seems like you travel back in time😍😍😍😍😍

Went to Sunday mass in December and it was a lovely service. The stained glass windows were beautiful and I loved being able to walk around and look at the statues and paintings after mass. Gothic architecture at its finest!

Amazing landmark with lots of history. Such a shame the historic information limited only in French language for a UNESCO registered building

The Cathédrale Saint-Gatien exemplifies the architectural and artistic magnificence of the medieval period. The stained glass windows are truly awe-inspiring. Every window unfolds a story from Tours' vibrant history, depicting moments of victory, sorrow, and steadfast faith. The preservation of these windows highlights the craftsmanship of the artisans and underscores the dedication to protecting the cultural heritage enshrined within the cathedral's walls.
