The famous eardrum of the cathedral bears the mark of a great artist "Gislebert" who does not hesitate to sign his work and create slender and supple bodies reflections of a humanity moving around one of the most beautiful Christ that is The interior mixes novel and Gothic in a sober and luminous harmony Do not fail to observe up close the original Romanesque capitals deposited in the chapter house as well as fragments of the tomb of Saint Lazarus on display at the Rollin Museum... a pinnacle of Romanesque sculptureView original -

Absolutely worth seeing: The youngest dish of 1135!! by Master Gislebertus (lettering in the middle) in the Tympanon at the west portal (main entrance). Note the cheating archangel, who pushes the scale down with both hands, on the other side a thick demon with toad resists. The church is again Romanesque in the style of Cluny, all architecturally perfect straight. Also look closely at the 100 capitals (half with figures), there are many well-known stories to discover, the originals were also from the workshop of Master Gislebertus.View original

Worthy trip to this town. The interior is undergoing major rennovations so only back portion open to public. continue behind and up street to right to a local pottery maker who is in her eighties and been crafting since the 50s.
-
The cathedral is being restored so 90% is closed. Tourist information failed to mention this so we walked up there basically for nothing. What is accessible is beautiful.

what a cathedral, one of the best in whole France

Currently undergoing extensive interior repair, unknown when complete.
