It's an excellent place to visit, with a pretty little square in front with benches. It's right along the Loire a Vélo trail and made for a pretty stop. The windows and light are so beautiful.

A very impressive cathedral. You can even spend long time just staring at all the sculptures on the outside. Every corner in the cathedral is different, the colours, patterns and paintings are so captivating. If you are in town, you have to go and visit here.
