St. Peter's Cathedral with a baldachin supported by huge circular piers that once bore the coat of arms of Urban V.

Originally a Benedictine chapel built in 1364, this church became the episcopal see in 1536. Devastated during the Wars of Religion, it was remodeled in the 17th and 19thcenturies in several sections, contrasting with its austere facade and 14th-century porch. The Revolution proclaimed it the "Temple of Reason", before it became a military warehouse. Its most impressive feature is undoubtedly its porch: an imposing baldachin supported by enormous circular pillars that once bore the coat of arms of Urban V.

Très belle cathédrale, impressionnante par sa grandeur et son style forteresse. Elle est imposante de par la majesté qu'elle dégage, mais ne regorge pas de beaucoup de détails gothiques. Elle est simple. D'ailleurs l'intérieur est assez simple, avec un air un peu abandonné. Mais qu'il fait bon s'y recueillir !

J'ai rarement vu une cathédrale de ce type. Elle est vraiment impressionnante et possède une architecture particulière. On se demande même si ce n'est pas un château.

If you have the time, take a trip to see this cathedral. The entrance is amazing and resembles a fortified castle. The interior is a little dark but is worth a look anyway.

For a cathedral, nothing exceptional if it is not the organ which is magnificent
