Cathédrale La Major

Hôtel de Ville

La Major rises from the waterfront like a Byzantine fever dream: striped green-and-white marble, soaring domes, and a cavernous interior glowing with Venetian mosaics. Built over 40 years in the 1800s, it's one of France's largest cathedrals and somehow still feels like a secret.

Lumières Célestes

October 25

Step inside Major Cathedral and find yourself swimming through 30,000 glass fish, wandering a forest of 3-meter trees, and gazing up at floating angels. French sculptor Marcoville transforms this Neo-Byzantine masterpiece into an ethereal Garden of Eden where ancient stone meets crystalline wonder.
