Stand in awe of the sprawling buttresses and vast towers of Bourges Cathedral, also known as the Cathedral of St Étienne of Bourges. Admire carvings that tell Biblical tales in rich detail and climb to the highest tower to enjoy spectacular views. Gaze at the cathedral and its surroundings, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The first stone was laid in 1195 and the nave was completed by 1230\. The north tower proved problematic, collapsing at the beginning of the 16th century before being rebuilt in 1542. If you are familiar with Cathédrale Notre-Dame de Paris, you will certainly notice the similarities with its many early-Gothic stylings. Sharp towers and spires stretch toward the sky while the huge vaulted nave is supported by thick buttresses. Inside is just as impressive with an unusual lack of transepts showing off the exceptional size and height of the nave. Explore the aisles to see flowing motifs, one telling the story of the life of St. Stephen. Turn to the north or south portal to see full-size figures of Christ and the prophets. The cathedral is adorned with a rich collection of beautiful stained-glass windows, although some of the finest are in the ambulatory at the eastern end. Dating to the early 13th century, these works of art display vivid depictions of the Last Supper and John’s vision of Christ. For a thrilling experience and spectacular views, climb one of the cathedral’s magnificent towers. The Tour de Beurre or Butter Tower, ascending from the northwestern side of the nave, offers a stunning vantage point. Gaze across the city and toward the distant countryside. Bourges Cathedral is located in the heart of town, just north of the pretty archbishop’s gardens and the office of tourism. Visit the cathedral Monday through Saturday. Entry is free. ## Plan a trip to see Bourges Cathedral Price found within the past 48 hours.
