In the footsteps of Art Deco

The framework of the cathedral

The framework was created by architect Henri Deneux, who started the work on restoring the cathedral in 1919. Taking inspiration from the system invented by the architect Philibert Delorme, he replaced the oak framework that had been destroyed in the war with a reinforced concrete structure that is light and non-flammable.
