Cathédrale St-Pierre-et-St-Paul, NANTES, Pays de la Loire

Although started in 1434, the Cathedral was not finished until the end of the nineteenth century. Following a severe fire in 1972, it was heavily restored. The most famous monument is the tomb of François II de Bretagne and Marguerite de Foix, the parents of Anne de Bretagne, whose marriage to two successive Kings of France bought Brittany under French rule.
