Cattedrale di Notre Dame

The grand and beautiful Cattedrale di Notre Dame in the charming small town of Senlis is a remarkable example of 12th-century Gothic architecture. Built between 1153 and 1255, its tall towers have inspired architects throughout the ages, making it one of France’s most visited churches, especially by photographers. Inside, the walls are full of fascinating details, like the chevron and rose windows, the transepts, and the soaring arches that make the cathedral particularly photogenic. Enjoy the stunning collection of sculptures, tapestries, and frescoes, or take a moment to simply admire the elegant pink-hued sandstone. Make sure to visit the Sacre Coeur, an external chapel where monarchs were once crowned. There’s something here for everyone.
