• The site of the present cathedral of Our Lady of the Assumption began in 1248 under the leadership of architect Jean Deschamps and the episcopate of Hughes de La Tour. It rises on the site of earlier churches as evidenced by the crypt. It took seven centuries to finish with long construction interruptions. It's Viollet-le-Duc in the nineteenth century, which built the 3 spans, the portal and the West arrows. It is characterized by the use of lava stone, which is used for the first magnitude. Overall, the cathedral is inspired by the Gothic splendor of Île-de-France. It is the setting for a unique set of stained glass windows, including Romanesque lancets, and murals.
