    Not from Paris, but also very interesting. Despite ongoing restoration, it can be visited.

      Built between 1575 and 1630, the cathedral combines Gothic and Renaissance styles. The north portal, decorated with ionic columns, is called the Portail Ave Maria because of the inscription above the flamboyant rosette window. The west facade is divided by four pairs of ionic columns with urns at each end. the Corinthian-style upper floor contains a large window. The buttresses show gargoyles in the form of salamanders. ... This church has a strong symbolic meaning. Le Havre was declared a diocese in 1974 and the church became a cathedral. The church is one of the last vestiges of the Wilhelmine era under François 1. The bell tower and nave are from the 16th century. The portal entrances and the west facade were made in the 17th century. The church was heavily damaged during the bombing. The tower still shows traces of the bombs. After thirty years of renovation, the church, the organ (a gift from Cardinal Richelieu) and the 19th century stained glass windows, which show historical scenes from the city, have been restored. The square and cathedral are slightly lower than the street. They are located on the original ground level of the city. (Michelin)
