Built over a period of more than 100 years in the 14th and 16th centuries, primarily in a style known as Southern Gothic. The façade was restored in 2004. Of particular interest, the Porte Juive is an example of the Gothic Flamboyant style and leads to a mysterious baptistry where converts first entered. You reach the pedestrian town center from the Rue de la République. The Cathedral is at the heart of the old town. Always open, free entry.
