Discover its history, architecture and treasures at your own pace on an audio tour. This 9-stop tour introduces you to the cathedral's rich heritage and the key events it has witnessed: its imposing and elegant façade, extended by the polychrome roof of the Archbishops' Palace, its nave and the succession of strong and weak piers; its organ; its stained glass windows (in particular "The Celestial Concert" and its angel musicians); the tomb of the Dauphin... Famous historical figures have also left their mark here, including Saint-Louis, Louis XII and Victor Hugo! Come and discover the first - and mother! - of all the great Gothic cathedrals in Sens, Burgundy, just outside Paris!
