    The five-aisled Gothic building stands on the highest point in the city (founded in 1020, then rebuilt between 1194 and 1260 after a fire), 130.5m long, 46m wide in the choir, 36.5m high in the main nave, with two magnificent towers, 106m and 115m high, an imposing façade with three gates and countless statues, and a serious, austere, solemn impression inside, including a crypt and the Notre Dame sous Terre chapel. The cathedral was added to the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1979.

        A very beautiful Cathedral but the interior is worth the visit
