Near to Cathedral of St Peter and St Paul, Troyes, visit

Partly built on piers at the beginning of the thirteenth century, the cathedral of Saint-Pierre Saint-Paul de Troyes is a little-known masterpiece characteristic of Gothic architecture.
Its facade, with its three flamboyant doorways, is the work of Martin Chambiges, the famous sixteenth century master stonemason from Paris.

It was intended to have a tower for each of the saints, but the tower of St. Paul has lain unfinished since 1545.

The 1500 m² of stained glass windows dating from the thirteenth to the nineteenth century make of the Cathedral Saint-Pierre et Saint-Paul in Troyes a fantastic picture book for studying the evolution of the art of stained glass over the centuries. Behind a large rosette of 8 meters in diameter are the Great Organs which come from the Abbey of Clairvaux.
