un endroit d'une intensité et d'une beauté majestueuse. L'édifice se prête au recueillement et à la contemplation comme aucune autre église de la région. Les chapiteaux méritent un examen attentif. more »

a place of majestic beauty and intensity. The building lends itself to meditation and contemplation as no other Church in the region. The capitals deserve scrutiny.

Visite de la Cathédrale sympathique mais pas extraordinaire comme j'ai pu en voir. Beau tympan. Bel extérieur. Parking à proximité. more »

Visit to the Cathedral friendly but not amazing as I could see. Beautiful eardrum. Nice outside. Parking nearby.

Un monument incontournable de cette ancienne cité romaine. Tympan sculpté remarquable. Très jolie place pavée au dessus.

A highlight of this ancient Roman city. Remarkable carved tympanum. Very nice paved over the square.

Magnifique cathédrale romane et gothique. Le tympan raconte une histoire merveilleusement écrite. Un monument incontournable.

Romanesque and Gothic Cathedral. The eardrum is a wonderfully written story. A highlight.
