The St. Etienne Cathedral, a jewel of Gothic art, was built between 1220 and 1520, and results of the meeting under one roof of two churches. The imposing silhouette of the St. Etienne Cathedral has one of the highest naves in the world and displays the largest expanse of stained glass in the world with 6,496 m2. Those stained glass windows include works by renowned artists including Chagall, Valentin Bousch, and Villon. |
The guided tour will continue with the place d’Armes, designed in the 18th century in a classical French style to assemble the various powers on the same site: military, religious, judicial and civil. Then you will see the covered market, initially designed as the bishop’s palace, but due to the French revolution it hadn’t been finished and became a modern market hall in 1835. In place de la Comédie, located on an island, you will discover the oldest theater (1752) of France still in activity and the Temple Neuf (New Protestant church) built by the Germans during the annexation (1871-1918) in grey stone and in a neo-romanesque style. To finish, you will discover the Citadel’s district with the Law Courts, the French garden of Esplanade, Saint-Pierre-aux-Nonnains Church, the Arsenal (a military building renovated in 1987 by the architect R. Boffil as a center for music, dance and contemporary creation), the Templars chapel from the 12th century, the Citadel food-store and finally the Governor’s Palace.
