St. Gatien Cathedral in Tours is a Roman Catholic cathedral located in Tours, Indre-et-Loire. Built for the first bishop of Tours, St. Gatien, it is home to the Tupel Diocese and the Metropolitan Cathedral of the Tull Parish. It was listed as a historical monument in 1862. This Gothic building is a landmark of Tours and is very grand, and its size is somewhat disproportionate to today's Tours. Although St. Gatien Cathedral is a very beautiful building, unfortunately it is not one of the main Gothic churches in France. One of the highlights of the church interior is the world-famously beautifully painted rose window, which dates back to the 13th century. The bag was originally the grass that was planted in this rose window, as beautiful as Notre Dame. Another highlight of the church is the marble casket of Charles and the two children of Anne of Brittany. This eucalyptus made of Carrara marble has a pure Renaissance style, by the most in the region of Tours. The famous sculptor Michel Colombe has carved it, and the carving is very vivid. There is a cloister to the north of the church. It is also a monastery of the Renaissance. The monastery is called Cloitre de la Psalette and was built in the 15th century. The church itself is free, and it takes 3.5 euros to enter the Passeare Corridor.
