A gem of the Burgundian style, the Church of Saint-Thibault in Côte-d'Or is a masterpiece of Radiant Gothic architecture. You can see it from afar as its five-sided apse is 27 metres tall, which was quite unusual at the time it was built.
First of all, contemplate the richly decorated portal, and in particular the sculpted tympanum dedicated to the Virgin Mary, then inside, the chiselled stone walls, astonishingly white despite the passing of the centuries. The choir features a superb carved wooden altarpiece from the 14th century telling the story of St. Theobald's life. The former prioral church also contains other treasures such as the very old and extremely well-preserved shrine to St. Theobald. Another striking aspect is the contrast between the luminosity of the high lancet windows and the dark woodwork, which gives the whole interior an elegant and harmonious appearance.
