ST. CECILE CATHEDRAL

It's one of the most impressive religious monuments in the Southern France. The cathedral is not to miss. It presents a real contrast between the outside wall shaped and the interior where everything is painted or sculptured. The entrance fee to the choir (magnificent !) is one euro per person (to be paid on the spot).

The tour guide will show you :
The Last Judgement, painted back to the end of the 15th century, where the Saved face the Damned.

The organ case, carved around 1735, the most beautiful work of the Classical period.

The jube (rood screen), sculptured in the late 15th century, is a treasure made of stone

The Renaissance vaulting, painted in the early 16th century, in a blue color perfectly preserved up today.

The choir and its ambulatory, where stand the statues of the prophets, apostles and sybills.
