Saint stephen's cathedral and its cloister
in Toul
-
Built from 1221 and completed around 1500, with its Romanesque plan and Gothic construction, the Cathédrale Saint Étienne is a symbol of Toul's rich past. Its flamboyant facade, the richest part of the building, contrasts with the austere radiant Gothic style of the rest.
The cloister was built in the 13th and 14th centuries. Measuring 54 m by 42 m, it is one of the largest in France. An interesting series of gargoyles completes the ensemble.
