Old cathedral of Saint-Vincent in Mâcon, classified as a historical monument, preserving only the 2 towers connected to each other
The two towers and the Romanesque narthex are the only remains of the former Saint-Vincent cathedral, built in the 6th century. Destroyed and rebuilt several times, it is now a listed historic monument. Today, it's closed to the public, but the exterior is well worth a visit, on a self-guided or guided tour with the tourist office. You'll have to be patient for a few more years before you can marvel at its interior again, as a fund-raising campaign has been launched for the end of 2023 to begin major renovation work and create a footbridge between the two towers.

Très beaux vestiges de cette église qui devait être grandiose en son temps, avec des tours très impressionnantes. Devrait faire le bonheur des amateurs de vieilles pierres et d'histoire de France.

Visité cet été, le quartier est très sympa. Les ruines de la cathédrale gothique sont à voir et sont encore en pas trop mauvais état. ça laisse place à l'imagination de l'immensité du bâtiment. La vue y est magnifique sur la ville de Macon.
