In this part, we are going to take a look at some of the best Cathedrals in France. With the information you will find in this article, you will be able to plan your trip to these majestic cathedrals easily.

Notre Dame de Paris is by far the world’s most famous and most visited cathedral. The Notre Dame de Paris itself offers a nice blend of old and classic ambience with modern amenities. You can explore anything from classic books to modern-day movies. You can also get a better view of Paris from the cathedral, so this particular tourism attraction is a must-visit.

Next, we have the Strasbourg Cathedral. It is situated close to the German border in the city of Strasbourg. The city is also the home to the Council of Europe and the European Parliament. At the Strasbourg Cathedral, one of the best attractions to wait for is the clock change time; seeing all the gears and mechanical parts work together synchronously (including cuckooing birds and Jesus blessing his disciples) clearly tells just how amazing this cathedral is.

The Russian Orthodox Cathedral in Nice, also known as the Eglise Russe or Cathédrale Saint Nicolas, offers you a completely different sensation. As you arrive at the Russian Orthodox Cathedral, you will sense that strong Russian ambience; it is almost as if you are in Moscow. The surrounding sceneries are simply breathtaking.
