    Cathédrale St-Étienne

    The dark granite Cathédrale St-Étienne - one of the few Gothic churches south of the Loire - was begun in 1273 and completed in 1888. Facing place St-Étienne, the Flamboyant Gothic Portail St-Jean dates from the early 1500s. Inside, the richly decorated Renaissance rood screen is at the far end of the nave. The cathedral is also notable for its remarkably slender pillars.
