Nantes Cathedral of Saints Peter and Paul
An emblematic monument of Nantes' heritage, the Cathedral of Saints Peter and Paul is preparing to reopen its doors in September 2025, after many years of restoration following the fire that occurred in July 2020.
A true architectural treasure, it attracts thousands of visitors each year fascinated by its history and Gothic splendor.
Built over nearly 450 years, the Cathedral of Saints Peter and Paul of Nantes impresses both for its size and the finesse of its architecture.
With its two towers rising to over 60 meters and its majestic façade, it offers a striking spectacle upon arrival. Inside, admire the light streaming through superb stained-glass windows, highlighting vaults rising to nearly 37.5 meters, among the highest in France.
The cathedral is scheduled to reopen in the fall of 2025, a date eagerly awaited by both Nantes residents and tourists.
In July 2020, a fire destroyed a large part of the monument, including 90% of the great organ and the 15th-century stained-glass window.
A vast restoration project immediately began, involving artisans, architects, and heritage experts to restore the building to its former splendor.
The reopening will provide an opportunity to rediscover the tomb of the Dukes of Brittany, a Renaissance masterpiece, as well as newly renovated spaces, testifying to the artistic and historical richness of the site. If you're passionate about history, the Cathedral of Saints Peter and Paul promises an unforgettable visit in the heart of Nantes, combining spirituality, art, and emotion.
