    A church made of red granite, which is surprising in the Camargue. Its fortified architecture reminds me of certain churches in Guipuzcoa in the Basque Country.

    Saint-Etienne Cathedral, built between 848 and 872, is one of the most beautiful fortified Romanesque buildings on the Languedoc coast. Built with local volcanic stone, this church, which has all the appearance of a medieval fortress, will take you back in time. It has a 35-meter-high keep structured with battlements and machicolations.

    It is hard to believe that this cathedral is built from the same volcanic rock as the nearby Mont Saint-Loup. Its black basalt, from eruptions that occurred about 900,000 years ago, gives it a unique appearance in France: depending on the light, it sometimes resembles a medieval fortress, other times a "lava block" that has emerged in the middle of the old town of Agde.
