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 end of the 15th century, where the Saved face the Damned.
