A very beautiful cathedral in gothic style. It is also one of the largest cathedrals in France.

One of the 5 largest Gothic cathedrals in France (140 m long, 53 m wide with a tower culminating at 106 m), Sainte-Croix was started in 1287 and officially inaugurated on May 8, 1829. I had the pleasure of attending a religious wedding during the visit and listen to organ music. such a privilege to have been married in this basilica! . the basilica has an interesting story. if you know something about architecture you will discover through many architectural details a gothic church but built in 1829. "Sainte-Croix Cathedral is one of the few churches, and perhaps the only one in the world, whose pillars do not bear a cross, reminiscent of the sanctification of any church. he had a vision while celebrating the ritual of consecration: he saw the hand of God blessing the cathedral, then he stopped the celebration by saying, “This cathedral has been blessed by the hand of God, it will not be by the hand of man!” The keystone of the night reminds me of this story.
