Superb basilica rich in interior decorations The Saint-Jean-Baptiste church was designed at the beginning of the 13th century as the parish church of a medium-sized provincial town. Its current interior length is 55 meters, its width is 25 and the height of the nave under the vault is 18 meters. From this period, we still have the fairly austere western facade, the nave and the side aisles. At the beginning of the 16th century, with the money amassed, the canons embarked on major works. In the northern arm of the transept, which shines with beautiful flamboyant Gothic style, we can admire today: -superb overhanging balconies decorated with sculpted stones. -a spiral and clerestory staircase, -the ornate guardrail of the triforium. (1st half of the 16th century). In 1948, the church was elevated to the rank of basilica given the importance of pilgrimages. When I visited it, its facade was under construction but that does not hinder its visit Very good visit

A beautiful basilica. You didn't miss anything if you weren't there, but once you're there, you can take a look around.
