Toul Cathedral
Cathédrale Saint-Étienne de Toul
The flamboyant Gothic cathedral of the small town of Toul, west of Nancy. Its facade is richly carved, and its cloister is one of the largest Gothic cloisters in France.
Toul Cathedral was built between the 13th and 16th centuries, taking about three centuries to complete. The twin towers on its flamboyant Gothic facade rise about 65 metres and are richly carved. The attached Gothic cloister is among the largest in France. Toul is an ancient episcopal city, and within its walls remain fortifications designed by Vauban. The surrounding area is also the Gris de Lorraine wine region. It lies about 23 km west of Nancy, roughly 20 minutes by train.
