Cathédrale Saint-André de Bordeaux

While I was unable to fully explore the interior due to an ongoing mass, the experience left a lasting impression. Situated in the heart of Bordeaux, this majestic cathedral is a true testament to Gothic architecture and the rich history of the region.

The intricate details of the facade, including the striking portals and magnificent stained glass windows, showcase the craftsmanship of a bygone era. The cathedral's spires reach toward the heavens, casting a dramatic silhouette against the Bordeaux skyline.

Though my visit coincided with a religious service, I was able to catch a glimpse of the interior from the entrance. The soaring vaulted ceilings and ornate decorations hinted at the grandeur that lies within. The soft echoes of hymns and the flickering candlelight created a serene atmosphere, even from the threshold.

Its exterior alone is a masterpiece, and I look forward to returning to explore the hidden treasures that lie behind its doors. Whether for religious contemplation or historical admiration, this architectural gem promises an enriching experience for all who enter.

We came here during the day and walked around. Its a beautiful cathedral. But the temporary show they have gling on to raise money for the restoration of the church was one of the most incredible things I've experienced in recent memory. Thats not an exaggerated statement. We saw the light show which was the history of the cathedral and the music in it. I've added some videos here. All I can say is... if you get the chance in this or another cathedral, go do it. Absolutely incredible.

The photos speak for themselves ! Superb light show. Book a seat in the far end ideally. Arrive early for the best seats.

Beautiful Cathedral, old and historical. It's one of the important landmarks in Bordeaux. It's located in the center and everything is close to it. The tram station A B C D, is beside it. so, you can easily go there by tram from airport or anywhere you come.

Amazing cathedral of Gothic and Romanesque signatures. Deservingly a UNESCO heritage.

Very remarkable late gothic Cathedral. Impressive light from the interior. The organ is a masterpiece. It is very curious than the bell tower is apart from the rest of the Cathedral, and that is because the muddy nature of the ground in Bordeaux, that does not allow to overcharge too much an area. A Must see

Lovely and spacious square. The cathedral is currently being restored and the large gilded statue has recently been placed on the spire. A lot of activity going around the plaza. Perfect spot for sunbathing and cultural attraction.

SUPER CATHEDRAL
There's lots of churches here in Bordeaux, but if you only have time for one, visit this one! Saint Andre Cathedral is really nice to visit, there are some amazing pictures you can take from the outside and the interior (whilst dark) looks very pretty.
If you want some super cool pictures, come back at night and they light it up!

Bordeaux Cathedral, officially known as the Cathedral of St Andrew, is a Catholic church dedicated to Saint Andrew and located in Bordeaux, France. It is the seat of the Archbishop of Bordeaux. Do not miss it during your stroll around the city

Beautiful historical cathedral worth a visit!
It was worth spending some time reading about the history of the building and the iconic great organ

Toured central area of Bordeux, France. We found cool flea markets, the entire central area is largely built in gothic stone architecture, and a great beltway around the Garonne River full of people, food, and sites. Visited one of the most impressive cathedrals we've come across so far in the EU (Cathédrale Saint-André). Mind blowing site! This area is large, but for 5€ mass transport available by tram, bus, and boat. Too much to see in one day! 🤙

Beautiful! The tower aside the cathedral is fenomenal with that golden statue.

good church, we would like to donate for repairing

Stunning architecture. And a lovely little macron bakery across the road.

Entrance is Free and its really beautiful. Gothic church. Inside was epic. Make sure you spend time here to sit and meditate.

Gothic Roman Style. A clock on an internal side wall is interesting. An Eagle as a podium unique.

This is a lovely very large Cathedral that is a Bordeaux Landmark. Take your time to explore all of the historic section of this masterpiece. It was originated around the 11th Century and was the location of the marriage of Eleanor of Aquitaine to Louis VII of France. She of course became the mother of Richard the Lionhearted. The hundreds of years of history are reflected in the beauty of the stain glass, the architecture and the art.

This is a brilliant cathedral to visit. It has lots of historical features, and it is well located and easy to get to. I must recommend it.

The gothic characteristics are striking and dramatic. We went on a Sunday and it was not too busy, only one large Asian tour group. There is much to see and you can walk around for a good 20 minutes for the non religious.

Amazing, well worth a visit, get there early to secure seating
