Coutances cathedral

An exceptional, unmissable monument : Coutances Cathedral

An iconic monument of the historical capital of the Cotentin, Coutances Cathedral is, alongside Mont-Saint-Michel, the most famous jewel of Norman Gothic art.

Its unmissable tower when you visit the Cotentin will allow you to discover an exceptional building with unparalleled beauty.

Remarkable architecture, staggeringly high steeples, construction of the monument began at the beginning of the 13th century.
