JOURNÉES DU PATRIMOINE À LA CATHÉDRALE SAINT-ÉTIENNE

Saint-Étienne Cathedral in Toulouse is a true architectural gem, offering a unique blend of styles and features that bear witness to its rich history.

This weekend, it’s opening its doors to you!

Come and spend the afternoon exploring the cathedral and its nave, with information sheets to guide you.

Follow the guide on a stroll to discover Saint-Étienne: its history
through the centuries and its treasures, such as the Romanesque wall, the Southern Gothic nave, the remarkable altarpiece, the striking Grand Organ, the tomb of Pierre-Paul Riquet, the stained-glass windows, and more.

Find out what’s going on behind that tarpaulin with an exhibition dedicated to the restoration work on the Raymondine nave in the southern Gothic style.

Finally, at the end of the day, join the talented resident organist, Pierre Barthez, for a spectacular organ concert! He will treat you to a unique performance, which will be broadcast on a large screen set up in the cathedral’s choir. Before the concert, you’ll also be treated to a detailed presentation of the magnificent listed organ, suspended at a height of 18 metres.
