The organ in this church is absolutely huge! When you walk in, make sure you look to the right, to the back and admire the giant organ pipes. As most churches in Europe, this one has it's history too. The interior is lined with small chappies and tombs. I'm not positive of the truth of it, but I've heard that the nights Templar was suppressed here. The bell tower is made of limestone and therefore not attached to the church for safety reasons and has a limited number of visitors allowed a day. I heard the view from the top is great, but I was not able to make it on a day that there was any availability. I've gone to many churches in Italy and Spain but not in France, I was surprised because it was late summer and I was in a tank top but wasn't asked to cover up my shoulders or knees. There is no entry fee, but they do take donations. read more

Beautiful cathedral with an incompetent and rude staff. Vagrant standing outside the door waving visitors in. Absolutely no respect for the disabled. read more

Gorgeous!!!!! What do you Bordeaux for?! Wine?? Yes! But the old town center is what you should come for. Including this gorgeous, stunning, magical cathedral!!! And the clock tower too! But it's insanely fairytale like. Oh so gorgeous. I got a hotel right next to this with a view of it too so I can look at it day and night!!! The Porte royale is so intricate. The inside of the cathedral is equally stunning architectural wise. The details, the painted glass! Didn't attend any mass here but it is absolute breathtaking. I enjoyed walking back and worth from this during my Bordeaux time!! Wine country is a different story! But if you stay in Bordeaux, stay in old town/center! And come visit!! read more
