Sainte-Croix Cathedral, Orleans

The programme “Vues-sur-Loire” offers viewers a once-in-a-lifetime visit to the cathedral, from its basements to the tops of its towers. It’s also a journey through French history, as the first Sainte-Croix church dates back to the 4th century. Following successive building campaigns often hindered by the ups-and-downs of history, the present Gothic cathedral was finally completed in 1858.
