On the site of its former fortifications there are now fine shady avenues.

Foremost among the many imposing edifices is the cathedral, one of the finest Gothic structures in Franoe, erected in the thirteenth century. It is a cruciform pile surmounted by three beautiful towers, and has a richly decorated W. facade, handsome portals, magnificent rose windows, and numerous chapels, among them the Lady Chapel, containing many splendid monuments. Henry II. of England lies buried here and here was also entombed the heart of Riohard Coeur-de-Lion.... Read MORE...
