Experts' Choice Award Cathédrale Saint-Maurice d'Angers
What the experts agree on
This Gothic cathedral blends Romanesque and Angevin architecture with exceptional 12th-16th century stained glass and a massive 18th-century organ, though its ornate facade and interior details reward close inspection.
“Despite having been damaged many times in its history, the porch retains some remarkable statues. Inside, note the distinctive Angevin-style vaulting.”
