Experts' Choice Award Cathedrale Saint-Etienne de Limoges
What the experts agree on
Despite six centuries of construction, St-Etienne feels surprisingly harmonious. Highlights include the ornate Renaissance rood screen, Flamboyant-style portal, rose window, and elaborate bishops' tombs in the chancel.
“Worth a visit for the Flamboyant-style Portail St-Jean, as well as a glorious rose window, a Renaissance choir screen (beneath the organ loft), and three ornate tombs in the chancel. ”
