OT Coutances

Along with the « Marvel » of Mont-Saint-Michel, Coutances cathedral is a jewel of gothic art in Normandy. The current building was constructed at the beginning of the 13th century, re-using some of the remains dating from the 11th century. The guided tour recounts the periods of construction and also offers the chance of enjoying the exceptional views from the galleries high up in the lantern tower.

Coutances cathedral is open every day from 9 a.m. to 19 pm.
