The Cathedral of Saint Julian of Le Mans is a superb example of a blend of Romanesque and Gothic architecture. Constructed between the 11th and 15th centuries, the cathedral boasts massive flying buttresses and an awe-inspiring stained glass collection, including the famous Ascension window dating back to the 12th century. Photo-travelers should focus on capturing the intricate carvings of the south porch, depicting scenes from the Bible. The rare medieval Herengels Choir Stalls, with their unique misericords, offer a detailed glimpse into the artistry of the period. The cathedral's position on the high point of the old town provides panoramic views, especially enchanting during sunset. Time your visit to catch the afternoon light filtering through stained glass for spectacular interior shots.
