  Cathedrale St. Maurice
by TimDaoust
 
 

This is another huge landmark within the city and very hard to miss. The Cathedrale exterior as well as interior are not to be missed. It sits atop a wide staircase often referred to by the same name as the Cathedral. It towers over all else around and contains some beautiful stained glass windows. There is still a bishop seated here and they hold regular services as well. The structure itself was built over the course of many centuries, from the Gallo-Roman period on until the 15th century. Go here for a great panorama of the cathedral and the staircase.

Address: Pont Verdun, Promenade de Port Ligny
Directions: Once in the general vicinity it will be hard to miss the cathedral's spires which tower above the surrounding town.

Review Helpfulness: 4.5 out of 5 stars
