Église St-Michel
Originally Gothic, this church subsequently underwent a facade-lift operation in which it was given a richly ornamented Renaissance west front. Its two 17th-century towers are topped with cupolas and, higher still, glittering gold spheres.

Église Notre Dame
A block north of the Palais des Ducs, Église Notre Dame was built between 1220 and 1240. The extraordinary facade's three tiers are lined with leering gargoyles separated by two rows of pencil-thin columns. The interior has a vast transept and 13th-century stained glass. High atop the church, the 14th-century Horloge à Jacquemart (Jacquemart Clock) was transported from Flanders in 1383 by Philip the Bold, who claimed it as a trophy of war. It chimes every quarter-hour.
