DISCOVER STRABOURG’S
NOTRE-DAME CATHEDRAL

Strasbourg’s Notre-Dame Cathedral is one of those must-see places when you visit Strasbourg. At BATORAMA, we love it with a passion. Which is why we have devised an audio guide service, in tandem with the Cathedral authorities*, which presents 42 points of interest: POPGUIDE Strasbourg.

You are greeted by the Right Reverend Luc Ravel, Archbishop of Strasbourg, who reminds us that this astounding feat of construction, “a prodigy of the gigantic and the delicate” as Victor Hugo put it, is already 1,000 years old.

DISCOVERING POPGUIDE IN PRACTICe

1,000 years, during which it has witnessed the complex stream of history, which few other regions in France can claim to have known. Passing from Catholicism to Protestantism and vice versa, changing nationality at the whim of wars and political accords until the middle of the 20th century, Strasbourg Cathedral has overcome the vicissitudes of history like an immutable symbol, survived fires, storms and bombs to stand before you in its gorgeous regalia of pink sandstone.

With the audio guide, you can travel back to the farthest reaches of the 14th century, from the time of the mathematician, Dasypodius, in 1354, to the time of the clockmaker of genius, Jean-Baptiste Schwilgué, in 1838, to discover the story behind the Cathedral’s astronomical clock.
