I had a wonderful time at this church. To get the best out of it use the audio guide for which there is a QR code displayed. The sculptures ( the reliefs and alabasters) by Jacques Du Brœucq are just exquisite. I had a peaceful time listening to to the audioguide with eyes closed soaking in the heat of the light rays coming through the high painted glass windows of the church.

Une cathédrale majestueuse à l'intérieur richement orné, abritant une relique incroyable : un carrosse de cérémonie. Fantastique pour une si petite ville !
