AUNIS LOUIS

I visited St. Louis Cathedral in La Rochelle for the evening 360° immersive show - LUMINISCENCE. It’s a large, historic cathedral, and the whole city feels like stepping back in time. Every narrow street is filled with history and charm.

Really enjoyed it here. If you are going by cruise ship, it is likely the shuttle bus drips you right outside this cathedral, it doesn't look muchbfeom the outside, but it is very grand on the inside, plus free to go in

Recently visited this Cathedral and it was such a lovely experience. The stained windows are very beautiful. The church itself is very beautiful and quite interesting. There were not that many people in there so it was ok to take photos as no one was praying at the time and there was no mass on that time.

Wonderful place for praying and visiting, morning time for free but night time with ticket for light and sounds

The architecture is amazing and even tho there were people praying as a tourist I was able to enter ,see the place , discover it and even take pictures and on top of that there was no judging. I rate the experience 10\10 especially if it's your first time entering a cathedral!!

Cathédrale Saint-Louis de la Rochelle is a stupendous national monument of this gorgeous city of La Rochelle. It may look unappealing from the outside but inside is impressively breathtaking! I was struck by the ambience of this church and even more blown away by the stained glass windows by Antoine Lusson, Lobin and Emile Hirsch. As you explore the side chapels, there are some spectacular artworks like "Let the little children come to me" by Louis Matout. Of importance are the Chapel of the Virgin and the Sailors' Chapel with the "Sapphire" oil on canvas inside this chapel. The Choir and the High Altar is mesmerizing. The organ is something to behold. There's so much history attached to this cathédrale that it's worth reading up on it. But you couldn't leave here without exploring the Saint-Barthélémy Bell Tower, a Gothic style structure attached to the chevet of the cathedral, which is a historical monument since the 30th October 1906 according to archive information available. Worth exploring especially families and young children and all backgrounds.

An amazing show ! The Polymni choir of 9 persons was exceptional. Magical moment.

Beautiful cathedral with amazing stained glass windows. It's almost as wide as it is long. Situated right on a lovely square too.
