The top of Cathédrale Saint-André de Bordeaux, seen from the top of the Tour Pey-Berland. Bordeaux’s cathedral – Cathédrale Saint-André de Bordeaux – is a stunning twin-steepled church in the centre of the city. Consecrated by Pope Urban II in 1096, it has a storied history and was where French King Louis VIII married Eleanor of Aquitaine in 1137. Little remains of the original 11-the century structure, with the nave altered in the 12th and 15th centuries and the rest of the structure – including the two spires – built in the 13th and 14th centuries. The Gothic style interior contains no great works of art, but the choir is a rare example of the Rayonnant style of architecture and the exterior is adorned with sculpted depictions of apostle, bishops and martyrs, as well as the Last Judgement. Next to the cathedral stands the 15th century Tour Pey-Berland, the bell tower, built in the Flamboyant Gothic style. It can be climbed by tourists to provide views over the church and the old city.
