Cathédrale Saint-Pierre-et-Saint-Paul de Nantes

A splendid example of a cathedral, well worth a visit

Currently closed and under refurbishment. But you can tell it's impressive. Don't forget to go to the square at the back. More sites there...

Such a pity that all this eglise is closed off. It's had a lot of fire damage done to it and I guess for safety reasons it's all barricaded off. There are really pretty gardens beside it though that we wandered through and it was nice to see the eglise from different angles.

We visited in the week nice and quiet spent about an hour in hear lovely stain glass windows

Gorgeous. The archways are intricately details. The columns are awesome. It gives of Very nice and inviting feeling. Nice to go in for mass or just to sit with your thoughts or prayers. Very beautiful and inspiring. 🙏

I am always in awe of the architectural work of the cathedrals and churches in Europe. This cathedral in Nantes is in the gothic tradition. Construction began in the early 1400 century And was not completed until late 1800. In 1862, it was listed as the monument historique by the French Ministry of Culture.

Nantes Cathedral, or the Cathedral of St. Peter and St. Paul of Nantes (French: Cathédrale Saint-Pierre-et-Saint-Paul de Nantes), is a Roman Catholic church located in Nantes, Pays de la Loire, France. The cathedral is in the Gothic architectural tradition. Construction of the church began in 1434, on the site of a Romanesque cathedral, and took 457 years to finish, finally reaching completion in 1891. It has been listed since 1862 as a monument historique by the French Ministry of Culture.

A very beautiful church almost looks and feels like Notre dame de Paris ❤️ it's a must visit
