It was a good decision to stop here. Many old buildings built by wealthy patricians. A wealth of history; the museum explains the city's development back to the Mesolithic period. It seems Obelix was here, too, because menhirs with drawings of the magic potion cauldron were found.
The view from the tower of the co-cathedral is impressive.
