Centre International du Vitrail

The Centre International du Vitrail (International Stained Glass Center) is a must-visit for anyone fascinated by the art of stained glass. Located in a former granary near the cathedral, the center houses a museum showcasing works from the 12th century to contemporary creations. Interactive exhibits explain the techniques of glassmaking, painting, and assembly. The center also runs a training program for artisans and offers workshops where visitors can try their hand at creating a small stained-glass piece.
