Discover the secrets of the gotical jewel with an audio-guide.
The visit with the audio-guide allows visitors to discover the thirteen major works of the Cathedral St. Nicholas. These works can be discovered from the portal to the stained glass windows, through the stalls and the organ. The audio-guided tour thus offers tourists the opportunity to succinctly discover some of the beauties of the place, including the medieval statuary and the art nouveau stained glass windows from the turn of the 19th century.
The audio-guide was created to mark the 500th anniversary of the foundation of the Cathedral Chapter of St. Nicholas, a group of canons created in 1512 by Pope Julius II, which combines modernity with the old.
A visit of about half an hour to the cathedral's treasures is not to be missed during your next stop in the Bourg district.
The audio-guides are available in French, German, English, Italian and Spanish.
