Cathedral St. Gatien - Tours, France 1/16

The Cathedral St. Gatien is the #1 site to see in Tours on Trip Advisor.  We were leaving Tours to return to Paris at noon, but I couldn't leave the city without visiting the Cathedral.  It opened at 9 so I set out at 8:30 to visit.  David had no interest so I went off by myself, why see another church was his thought.  When I got there I went in and it was totally empty.  Lights off.  Thought I would catch a mass but nothing.......Literally I was the only one in there.  Very very creepy.  I walked slowly down the sides and admired the beautiful stained glass windows. Click, click, click was the only sound from my shoes, felt like I was in a horror movie.  Should I turn around and run?  What if I were kidnapped or accused of trespassing or locked in?  Finally one other tourist came walking in.                                                    



Imagine me walking down this huge church, heart pounding, always looking over my shoulder?
