The famous west facade of the cathedral is illuminated by the sun in the late afternoon. Then the visit is particularly worthwhile.

#15 - Cathedral and Tourist Office

Here the cathedral attracts everyone's attention! Like all visitors, Jules Verne admired the grandeur of this “magnificent example of 13th-century Gothic art,” as he wrote in An Ideal City. He also refers to it in The Secret of Wilhelm Storitz:
“The cathedral [...], a 13th century building that mixes Romanesque and Gothic styles. However, this cathedral has beautiful parts that deserve the attention of connoisseurs: its facade framed by two towers, its spire located in the transept, three hundred and fifteen feet high, its central portal with very elaborate arches, its large rose window through which the rays of the setting sun and from which the large nave is largely illuminated, and finally its rounded apse between the numerous buttresses.
Notre-Dame Square has changed over the centuries and through numerous events. It does not resemble what Jules Verne knew in the 19th century, with its old houses and a small square in front of the building. After the Second World War, houses reminiscent of the shapes and decorations of the 13th-century houses were built opposite the cathedral, and the square was enlarged.
Nowadays the tourist office is also located here.
