Cathédrale St-Pierre

Ann Douglas Lott/Lonely Planet

Stone apse of a Gothic church with tall windows between buttresses, a weeping willow and a passer-by below.

A former Franciscan chapel consecrated in 1535, Annecy's cathedral has a Renaissance-meets-Gothic style. Drawing attention from the unadorned walls are a mighty 19th-century organ, weighing 10 tonnes, a large rose window, and columns capped with ornate capitals.
