The Collégiale Notre-Dame-en-Vaux is a magnificent example of Romanesque and Gothic art, built between the 12th and 15th centuries. It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site as part of the Santiago de Compostela pilgrimage route. It has one of the largest carillons in Europe, with 56 bells, and an impressive collection of 16th-century stained glass windows.
